Yes, Netdiag showed Pass on the DC too. I checked the "Trust computer for
delegation" and re-ran DCDiag and now all tests pass. But the problem is
still showing up in the logs of some machines. I have not rebooted the DC
yet and probably will not be able to for some time.
    Last week I went through the Event log of every computer on the network
and discovered that all the affected systems have MSN Messenger installed
and the unaffected machines do not. This lead me to think maybe it could be
a problem between the machines and the MSN server because of my firewall.
After looking into it some more I remembered that this issue did not start
until about a month ago and there have been no significant changes made to
it that could affect communication between a computer on the network and the
internet. Just for kicks though I checked the log and could not find any
entry coinciding with the messages in the event logs.
