Best Answer

Very much depends on the method of encryption used and the level of expertise of the user with the admin account.

For example it's possible to setup a master user account that would have access to all encrypted files in other uses home directories. Unless of course they used a second party method of encryption. Then they would simply appear as encrypted files and the user, regardless of admin privileges would be unable to open them.

I would need more details on the situation to truly answer your question in in general terms, assuming windows, it's possible yes.

What is the purpose of the administrator password?

The computer needs at least one account with full privileges in order to allow the installation of software. By default, the computer will come with such an account - the default administrator account. Since the account has full privileges it really needs to be protected such that only someone who is supposed to have full privileges on the machine can access it. The protection comes in the form of password protecting the account.

What does the efs.copyraw option do?

Found on the ScanState Syntax document at microsoft docs site."Causes the ScanState command to copy the files in the encrypted format. The files will be inaccessible on the destination computer until the EFS certificates are migrated. EFS certificates will be automatically migrated; however, by default USMT fails if an encrypted file is found, unless you specify an /efs option. Therefore you should specify the /efs:copyraw option with the ScanState command to migrate the encrypted file. Then, when you run the LoadState command, the encrypted file and the EFS certificate will be automatically migrated.For example:ScanState /i:migdocs.xml /i:migapp.xml \server\share\migration\mystore /efs:copyrawImportantAll files must be encrypted if the parent folder is encrypted. If the encryption attribute on a file inside an encrypted folder has been removed, the file will be encrypted during the migration using the credentials of the account used to run the LoadState tool. For more information, see Migrate EFS Files and Certificates."
