Server 2008 R2 Secondary Domain Controller - Accidentally Disabled Network Adapter
I have a server at a remote office running Server 2008 R2. This server is a local domain controller for that office. I was having issues with Active Directory not replicating and I disabled the network adapter by accident. Now I am unable to login to the machine and my local user at the site cannot login with domain admin credentials. As this is a domain controller I am unable to login as a local user.
Is there a way to enable the network adapter by modifying a file within windows if I boot via Linux or something?

So for anyone else dumb enough to make this mistake, here's what worked for me.
Boot to Linux, and turn the adapter back on via Windows registry.
