Normally, the system skips files with these attributes.
/I Forces Cipher to continue performing tasks even after it experiences an error. Normally,
Cipher stops performing tasks when it encounters an error. Using this command line switch
allows a batch file to continue processing files, even when some of the files failed to react as
anticipated. You should redirect the output to a log file when using this option to track the errors
and take any required remedial action when the task completes.
/K Defines a new encryption key for the user running Cipher. You can??™t use any other command
line switches with this command line switch. The system displays a message that includes
the new key when you use this option. Save this thumbprint to a file so that you can use it to
open files encrypted on one machine on another machine. The Microsoft Knowledge Base article
at http://support.microsoft.com/kb/295680/ describes this process in detail. Never let anyone
see or use your encryption key because they can use the key to access your encrypted files.
/N Prevents the system from updating keys used to encrypt files. Use this command line
switch with the /U switch to locate all encrypted files on a local drive without actually performing
any updates.
