Can DFS Replication replicate files encrypted with the Encrypting File System?

No. DFS Replication will not replicate files or folders that are encrypted using the Encrypting File System (EFS). If a user encrypts a file that was previously replicated, DFS Replication deletes the file from all other members of the replication group. This ensures that the only available copy of the file is the encrypted version on the server.
