Steven:
  yes there was a difference between local setting and effective setting.
I had to fix it at the domain level by taking out my settings there.

Then I could get in to the local machine as administrator. :-).

One coment I would like to make,
It would be nice If the domain controller could see the local accounts which
reside on client machines and be able to work with those.

for instance I would have liked to add HAL9000\Administrator
to "Log on Locally" and have it apply to HAL9000.
this was almost the case in KB article 826903, BUT
HAL9000\Administrator is not available in the directory from the DC,
which is in jewelconsulting.org, nor is it available in the full directory.

Once having removed my stipulated accounts from domain level,
it worked.

it works now, and thank you for that great information!

I later cleaned up the mess by stipulating in each client.
