As opposed to working around group policy, you might be able to add yourself or the Administrators group directly to the "Debug Privilege" right.

There's a command-line utility called NTRIGHTS which can do this:

Ntrights.exe -u Administrators +r SeDebugPrivilege

NTRights is part of the W2K3 resource kit, but it still works on more recent windows versions. See Windows 7 equivalent for ntrights.exeWindows 7 equivalent for ntrights.exe and http://ss64.com/nt/ntrights.html (I don't have a direct link on where to download it, but with some google sleuthing, or getting your hands on the W2K3 resource kit install, you'd have it).
