Default Encrypting File System Error Message

I used "Manage your file encryption certificates" option and got the
following error message at the end of the wizard when I tried to use cert.

Title: Encrypting File System

Message: The EFS re-key wizard encountered a fatal error: Provider could not
perform the action since the context was acquired as silent.

Default Encrypting File System Error Message

Could you provide more details about what happened? What kind of certificate
were you trying to use--software or smart card? What options did you select
in the wizard before it errored out? The exact steps would be very helpful.

Thanks.
Pat
