    Keep in mind that if you setup the OU with a Group Policy, that security
    option must be disabled - not undefined and the computer account would need
    to be moved into that OU and then the computer rebooted. Another thing that
    you could try is to use netdom to remove the computer from the domain which
    may allow you to access it the way you did before the computer was joined to
    the domain. The netdom remove command will remove the computer from the
    domain and then place it in a workgroup that has the same name as the
    domain. The link below explains netdom in more detail. If all that fails
    and since you can not access the registry remotely your best option maybe to
    backup the files, rebuild the computer, and then restore the files.
    SysInternals makes a free tool called psexec that may allow you to access
    the problem computer for a remote command prompt if that would help. ---
