System Groups

Some of my machines (all XP sp2) are not allowing me to add AD accounts to
the Local PC Groups. In all cases, the Domain Admin is an Administrator on
the local PC. Now, a few machines don't show the Domain Admin but rather a
red question mark over the person for the icon, and instead of "Domain
Admin", it read what looks like a SID.

When I try to browse for a domain account, locations only shows the local PC
and does not have any drill down for Entire Network and so on. However, I do
have network resources and can get to the DC and other servers.

Any ideas why this may be happening?
