Hi,

We want to encrypt MS Sql Server data files - .mdf and .ldf with
logged in user certificate and make sure that MS Sql Server service
(running as Local System Account) can decrypt it.

Is it possible to encrypt data files with a certificate that resides
in logged in user's
cert store and also MS SQL Server Service 'service account's cert
store?

You can access 'service account's cert store through mmc -
>Certificates Snap-in -> Service account

Thanks,
rsm
