About this tag
DPAPI (Data Protection API) is a Windows feature used to encrypt sensitive data like passwords and keys. Discussions on WindowsForum cover DPAPI MasterKey backup failures when a Read-Only Domain Controller (RWDC) is unavailable, and synchronization issues in Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 R2 where DPAPI keys fail to sync after unlocking a computer, preventing decryption of protected data. These topics are relevant for IT administrators managing domain environments and troubleshooting encryption-related problems.
Fixes an issue in which the DPAPI keys are not synchronized and you cannot decrypt information that was encrypted by using the DPAPI in Windows 7 or in Windows Server 2008 R2. This issue occurs when you unlock the computer.
