EFS & new domain

[wb]

i have a few dir's encrypted using EFS that were setup when logging into
another domain where I worked. I can no longer login to that domain as I'm
not with that company now. Elcomsoft's "Advanced EFS Data Recovery" trial
product can find the keys and decrypt the first 512 bytes.

If that software can do it, isn't there a way my local cert manager can do
it without me having to pay 99.00 to Elcomsoft? Or is there an opensource
product that can do this?

note: the last day at work as per policy my account was disabled so the
local cache does not have the domain info i guess.

MS support will also do it for you for a fee.
Review http://www.beginningtoseethelight.org/efsrecovery which is
the original info on EFS recovery when the cert/key was not exported
and preserved, and which remains the document on how to do this if
you do not want to pay to get it done.
