Encrypting File System Error Message

I used "Manage your file encryption certificates" option and got the
following error message at the end of the wizard when I tried to use cert.

Title: Encrypting File System

Message: The EFS re-key wizard encountered a fatal error: Provider could not
perform the action since the context was acquired as silent.

Could you provide more details about what happened? What kind of certificate
were you trying to use--software or smart card? What options did you select
in the wizard before it errored out? The exact steps would be very helpful.

Thanks.
