He was a domain user but the key was on the system partition and the
data is on another drive, the system partition that had the keys was
deleted with the install of Win XP. I logged in as the user and the
recovery agent displays no recovery agent present, likewise for the
local admin and domain admin. I have not taken ownership though.
would I need to do that for the recovery agent.
