IT told me we cannot unbind the server from AD, at least not as a first
option, since all administration accounts depend on it.

I tried:

+ to block the condor AD account (by entering the password incorrectly three times,
we have that policy here),
+ and disabling the AD condor account temporarily

But in both cases I got the same problem. Is it critical for security
that condor account is locked? Is there no way to tell the get_condor
script that I'm OK with an unlocked condor account?

Thanks
