Admin Access Unavailable After Joining Domain

I've had a test Vista Enterprise system working fine for a week or so. "All
of a sudden", I had no admin access to the firewall, network, etc., either
from the local workstation admin account or the admin account of my OU. I
had added some GPO's the previous day, so I disabled all of them, reinstalled
Vista from scratch with the same result. Once I join the domain, I can't add
any groups from my OU to manage, or any admin tasks as I get an "access
denied". Even adding my OU groups to "restricted groups" in the GPO, and
reactivating the GPO, had no effect. Can't even unjoin the domain, so just
have to reinstall.
 
Cased closed. Sorry, twas my fault. I *thought* GPRESULT* indicated one new
non-admin policy was not getting applied, but it was. So Admins were
restricted from running executables, etc. Mea Culpa.
