SYMPTOMS
When you try to mark multiple folders for encryption using the Cipher.exe tool, only the last folder you specify is actually encrypted.



CAUSE
This problem can occur if you try to use the /s: switch multiple times in a single command. Cipher.exe does not support using the /s: switch multiple times in a single command, and only encrypts the last folder if you use the /s: switch multiple times in a single command.



RESOLUTION
To work around this problem, do not try to use the /s: switch multiple times in a single command.



STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed that this is a problem in the Microsoft products that are listed at the beginning of this article.
