This sounds like a dns or possibly replication issue. I suggest that you run
netdiag and then dcdiag on each domain controller while logged on as a
domain administrator looking for any failed tests. If that looks good run
netdiag on one of the problem machines. Using nslookup can also be helpful
in determining if they have are using the correct dns server and that it is
rsolving names. Never ever have an ISP dns server listed in the tcp/ip
properties of any domain machine or you will get weird behaviour - sometimes
everything will seem fine and then all the sudden something does not work
right. Netdiag and dcdiag are located on the install cdrom in the
\support\tools folder where you will need to run the setup program.--- Steve
