Value: "EfsConfiguration" or one of the special values in [MS-GPREG] section 3.2.5.1.

Type: REG_DWORD.

Size: Equal to size of the Data field.

Data: 0x00000000 (to enable EFS on the client) or 0x00000001 (to disable EFS on the client).

This option SHOULD<2> be supported by implementations of the Group Policy: Encrypting File System Extension. If an implementation chooses not to support this option, the administrative plug-in MUST NOT modify the Registry Policy entry described earlier.
