Verify that both of you and the domain admins group are in the local administrators
group by using "net localgroup administrators". "Net user username" will also show
what groups the user is in. The computer may have been compromised and membership of
the administrators group changed. Trying the built in administrator account would be
worth a try. The built in administrator account would not be subject to any domain/OU
user configuration Group Policy either but would be subject to and local Group
Policy. Look in Event Viewer to see if there are any pertinent messages. I would also
run netdiag on that machine looking for any failed tests, especially relating to
secure channel which would indicate a problem with domain communications or
membership. --- Steve
