Look at the DNS configuration on the servers having the problems. They
should be using your internal AD DNS servers. To be sure, do nslookup on
each of them, verify that they show the right DNS server, then do a lookup
for your DCs and verify that the correct addresses are returned for the
query.

If you can, disjoin the compters from the domain and readd them. Reboot each
time you disjoin and rejoin.

Aside:
You said "My DC is still in SP2 for some reasons it cannot be upgraded
beyond SP2". Are the reasons technical or political? If they are technical,
they may be contributing to this problem you are reporting.
