It seems like the servers got dropped out of the domain and it cannot get
authenticated. We have an in-house application and when the server got
"disjoin" and when we tried to login to our application, it says access is
denied and an event is recorded as below,

I have done some research on the Internet and I have tried to follow some of
the suggestions like using the updated network driver, disable media
sensing, set the speed of the NIC to match the switch, install MS02-001 and
others but still of no help. I wonder does this has to do with the Domain
Controller. I have to rejoin the server to the domain at least twice a day.

My DC is still in SP2 for some reasons it cannot be upgraded beyond SP2.
Thank you very much in advance.
