Enabling EFS on FileStream Folders












0















Please help me on below:



Below is my Environment:



Windows Server 2012 R2 Standard



SQL Server 2014 SP2 GDR



Availability Groups 2014 with 3 Node (2 Sync and 1 BCP async)



I have 7 Databases with FileStream enabled.



Each 7 DB Filestream data folders is around 500 GB.



Due to security policy I need to enable both Transparent Data Encryption (TDE for structured data) and Encrypting File System (EFS on FileStream folders).



While enabling EFS on FileStream folders I am getting below error.



(NOTE : I am doing it by turning the SQL Servers offline and before taking services offline , I am failing over AG to next available Synchronized AG Node)



enter image description here



I cannot Ignore the error and move on , because of which please advise on below:




  1. What is the root cause of this issue and how can I perfectly enable EFS for the 7 DBs FS Folders .

  2. Can I try enabling the EFS on multiple DB FS Folders keeping in mind their sizes (500 GB each) ?


Kindly advise. Thanks
