Tracking ID 586-31: Encrypt Action Fails For Files Copied From Remote Server To Workstation Using RDC

The Client File System Agent (CFSA) may fail to apply Advise Encrypt or Enforce Encrypt control actions to files copied between machines using Remote Desktop Connection (RDC).

This problem typically affects users connecting via RDC to a remote server from their workstation. Under RDC, in Windows Explorer it is possible to expose any drive on the workstation as a network drive on the remote server. This enables users to copy files from the server directly to their workstation. However, the CFSA is unable to encrypt these file copy operations, though it can apply other control actions such as Block or Warn.
