Here are the steps I recommend to free your soon-to-be-unjoined machines from having policy settings stuck on them! Not all policy settings are removed just because the GPO that delivered them no longer applies.
In fact, while most if not all Admin Template settings will get removed using this method, many security settings will not. For example, Security Options, User Rights Assignment, Audit Policy and Event Logs, to name just a few, will remain as they were set in the domain, even though the GPOs that delivered them no longer apply to the machine.
You would either need to re-set those security settings explicitly to the out-of-the-box defaults or accept that they will remain on the un-joined machines. Finally, if you have already removed the machines from the domain without doing the steps above, have a look at my Clean Registry Policy freeware utility.
