The administrator account is just a normal account (with a known SID) that is added to the administrators and domain admins groups in the domain. If this user nolonger belongs to these groups it will not 'automatically' be given privilages. Check group membership of both the accounts you mentioned and check that the other domain admin account does not have permissions explicitly granted using it's username.
