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

      that is about what we are trying to do. restore to Factory.

      any luck?

          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.

                                  You need to download it. It's not built into the system. https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/pxexec.aspx

                                    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.

                                        Downloaded to the local computer and to another computer on the same physical network

                                        Both run, but don't do anything.

                                        C:\Users\PCname\Downloads\PSTools>psexec \\SurfaceName -i-s cmd cmd
                                        
                                        PsExec v2.2 - Execute processes remotely

                                        Sysinternals - www.sysinternals.com
                                        
                                        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.
