HELP! Changing User from having data stored on server to back desk

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance

I have a client who had a server (60 days ago, Win Server 2003 SBS) setup
with all users logging into a domain and all data files stored (my
documents, desktops, etc) on the server. They want to go back to a std
workgroup setup with data files stored on the desktops. (I already have
there mail moved back to there pop host and off of exchange.) No offline
files, etc. the tech who set them up is no longer there or available. I do
have user names, passwords, server admin access. I was going to enable
offliine files to get the most recent data files back on the desktops and
then disable the remote data option on the user on the server but I am
concerned about what will happen when I try and log onto the user on teh
desktop localy and not via the domain. Would it be easier to copy there data
to a storage folder, create a new local user and move the data to it and
then rename teh local user to match teh origional domain logon so I can
access shared folders on the server?
