Folder Level EFS permissions (File Server)

I'm trying to find a simple way to give multiple users access to my EFS
shares on my file server. Manually importing certificates to each of the
thousands of subfiles, is not an option. Is there any way to grant folder
level EFS permissions? Or is it possible to grant security group permissions
using EFS?

I have the following quote from another website...When is this "Future
Release"

Currently, encrypting files and folders to multiple users is not supported.
Additionally, encrypting files or folders is not supported on network shares.
(This functionality will be enabled in a future release.)

 

Since this newsgroup is public.security and not public.windows.server.security

Please post this over to the windows.server.security newsgroup where it belongs

On the web:
