MWB, is right; http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc771346.aspx

cipher /r: “Generates an EFS recovery agent key and certificate, then writes them to a .pfx file (containing certificate and private key) and a .cer file (containing only the certificate). If /smartcard is specified, it writes the recovery key and certificate to a smart card, and no .pfx file is generated.”

It has been said that domain does not contain CA.So i think answer should be D instead of A. Agree with sysadmin

C and D

Get-certificate is to be used with a CA and question mentions that there is no CA.

Can someone please explain why not Create Recovery agent instead of Add?

I tested it in my lab.
When you open the domain policy and go to the Encrypting File System settings, it gives you two options.

Create a recovery agent
Add recovery agent.

When I tried to “create a recovery agent” it said “Windows cannot create a recovery agent. The requested certificate teamplate is not supported by this CA”.
I guess this is because I have no CA in my lab.

On the other hand “Add recovery agent” lets you add an existing certificate.

So I guess “Add recovery agent” is correct.
