Screwing around with EFS, I encrypted a file while the laptop was on
an NT domain, so I assume local admin was the Recovery Agent. Then we
migrated to Active directory, which I guess makes Domain Admin the
recovery agent?

Took the laptop home, files opened fine, then I took the mcahine out
of the domain. No more cached domain account, so I can't log on to
recover files. Can't put PC back on domain, (no longer have access to
domain.) what do I do now? Still have profile directory, con't figure
out if I have what I need or not. Any help?
