Hello obnetadmin,
At least the ADRM password is needed, so i think not possible because you can not change it remote during the loop.

I can boot into Safe Mode but I do not have the local Admin password.

Hello obnetadmin,
Without having the option to start the server normally, i think no.
Or are you able to logon to safe mode?

Also..is there any way to recover the local Administrator password
on that DC? To build the BartPE disk, does it need to be run against
a Windows server?

Hello obnetadmin,
In a single forest domain the IM can be held also from a GC DC,
make all DCs GC in your case, no problem.

Meinolf-
I have all FSMO roles seized to another DC with the exception of
the Infrastructure Master. Can I seize this role to a GC server
for the time being without any issues while I perform metadata
cleanup?

Hello obnetadmin,
Reboot loop can be virus/spyware etc. also. Try with a BartPE or
similar
to scane the harddisk for them. If you still stuck in the loop
and
it
is
not the broken harddisk you can also seize the FSMO roles on
another
DC and
run a metadata cleanup according to:

I have a single forest single domain Windows Server 2003 EE
Active Directory environment. At my main site I have 3 DC's. One
of the three is stuck in loop where it constantly reboots when
it either reaches the splash screen, after loading computer or
personal settings, or after login. This DC holds the
Infrastructure Master role as well as secondary DNS and WINS. I
don't believe it's a hardware problem so I need to remove it
from the domain and reinstall the server...Could I boot and do a
Directory Services restore? Also need to restore local
Administrator and/or Directory Services restore password. HELP!
