When you get an error message that you don't understand, the first thing to do is to Google the message:
https://www.google.co.uk/search?q=Recovery+policy+configured+for+this+system+contains+invalid+recovery+certificate&oq=Recovery+policy+configured+for+this+system+contains+invalid+recovery+certificate&sugexp=chrome,mod=14&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8[^]

This makes it look like this is a known problem with workrounds. Without knowing more specifics about your environment, I can't tell which of these are relevant, but the first link - to MSDN - describes your problem exactly, so it's worth looking at:
Error message when client computers encrypt a file in a Windows Server 2003 domain: “Recovery policy configured for this system contains invalid recovery certificate”[^]
