Finding EFS Encrypted Files on a volume

I'm wondering if anyone knows a reliable way to find EFS encrypted
files on a given volume. I'm assisting with a large-scale OS and it
looks like at least some of the users have EFS encrypted files that
they may have forgotten about. The concern I have is that after the
upgrade we won't be able to get back into the files and I'll find out
about it too late.

I have found some leads on Google, but I'm hoping someone has some
experience ferreting out EFS encrypted files across thousands of
machine.

Thoughts?
