Hi Steve,

Actually, with a parallel install, one can set a deny on the
%system32%\group policy folder (deny administrators) of
the other system, just like one does with access via a network
share mapping.
This prevents application during the admin login so that
they can then remove the deny and edit the policy to remove
the offending setting.
