Solved.
I was attempting to create a new domain admin user while logged in as me,
Domain admin and schema admin. The account was created successfully, I could
assign the account to the groups successfully, all looked fine, but of
course the user could not log in.
I logged in as the built in Administrator account and created the same
account using the same methods, assigned to the same groups and they can now
log in.
It appears that even though I (as me) am allowed to complete all the actions
to create a new domain admin, and the os reports no errors warnings or
problems, I really can't. Windows just isn't going to tell me I can't. It's
going to let me believe it worked, when it didn't.
