Yes you can do that as Danny mentioned, but another possibility is that the owner
consider using a physically secured non domain computer where he is the only
administrator and possibly EFS encryption ONLY if he understands the risks involved
in that data may not be safe as long as private keys for the user/recovery agent are
still on the computer and that if the keys are not backed up the data can be lost
forever. If he wants his data on a computer where their are other administrators,
then he will have to accept the risk as a tradeoff for the convenience. --- Steve
