Mifa,

if the machine is not on the domain, how is it using the resources of
the domain. Surely you can block the machine from connecting to your
resources, this will then allow you to gain access to the machine with a
"legitimate" reason to find out whats wrong.

Further , the admin account is disabled/missing; to be honest Im not shure how. I had hoped to do a quick reboot from a floppy because its fast.

One of our employes left this company to start another company and he had friends. We dare not point out any one without proof or fire anyone without knowing we the correct person; especially when this person has been with the company most of its existance. To get that proof I think the hardware key logger would be a good option to get the password ect then log in, but not any good for the longer term. Also, we are keeping a copy of all emails. The other option is to disclose our suspecions and have him turn in the computer the next time he comes into the office; which we will do if we must. Being a small company based on trust its the last option short of fireing wich the owner will not do without proof. Now you see the sensitive delima here. We do have every right and policy, but....
