If you disjoin from the domain back to workgroup and he uses his local account again you should have access

Hello,
I have big problem with our domain new user.
Yesterday I did connect his computer to our domain however before he did
switch on file encryption for My Documents folder (to be precise he had two
working account on his notebook and no one would identify now from which
account he did this move with encryption - I assume however that from account
which was later migrated - look down)
One account was deleted unfortunately and the other with changed account
name was migrated to domain user account (SBS 2003).

Now some folders in his My Documents folder (redirected to the server by the
way) are encrypted and there is no access to them.

Are there any moves I could try with such the situation ?

regards
PPol
