      huh. Well, I guess I'd backup the data and wipe it... you've wasted enough time on it already. 😞

              Stuck at the login screen or a non-admin account?

                We can get into a non-admin domain account. But can't get into the Admin domain account.

                  How does that happen? Is it able to talk to a DC?

                    Yes, it can talk to the DC - but whatever the issue,.. you can't sign on as an Admin. and the GPO pushing out the Admin ID isn't updating either.

                        The UserProfile Service is borked... Can only sign in as the user that had it. And even trying to open the User Accounts in Control Panel fails

                            Ooooh I hate the control panel crash issue. Don't remember how I fixed it when I had it arrive on my desk.

                            Can you open stuff as administrator?

                            Edit wait just saw your CDM post.

                                        can you create a GPO for that specific SP3 that adds the standard domain account that you're using to the local admin group? Then have at some of the other fixes again?

                                          Sounds like GPOs aren't applying. He stated earlier that they have GPO that does that.

                                            PsExec executes a program on a remote system, where remotely executed console
                                            applications execute interactively.
                                            
                                            Usage: psexec [\\computer[,computer2[,...] | @file]][-u user [-p psswd][-n s][-r servicename][-h][-l][-s|-e][-x][-i [session]][-c [-f|-v]][-w directory][-d][-<priority>][-a n,n,...] cmd [arguments]
                                                 -a         Separate processors on which the application can run with
                                                            commas where 1 is the lowest numbered CPU. For example,
                                                            to run the application on CPU 2 and CPU 4, enter:
                                            <deleted for space>
                                            
                                            You can enclose applications that have spaces in their name with
                                            quotation marks e.g. psexec \\marklap "c:\long name app.exe".
                                            Input is only passed to the remote system when you press the enter
                                            key, and typing Ctrl-C terminates the remote process.
                                            
                                            If you omit a user name the process will run in the context of your
                                            account on the remote system, but will not have access to network
                                            resources (because it is impersonating). Specify a valid user name
                                            in the Domain\User syntax if the remote process requires access
                                            to network resources or to run in a different account. Note that
                                            the password and command is encrypted in transit to the remote system.
                                            
                                            Error codes returned by PsExec are specific to the applications you
                                            execute, not PsExec.
