on the server look for the server service, and netlogon service ... are they on the same subnet ? Maybe check your WINS server too, and on the member server that won't authenticate you can check for an incorrect preferred server setting ( and from cmd look at environment variables for netlogon server )

We had a power outage, and now we're having authentication issues. The PDC seems to be coming up fine, but one of my NT member servers won't authenticate to it. I see a NETLOGON message in the event viewer stating no domain controllers could be found. How can I determine if the PDC is running properly? How can I verify the proper services are running, etc. to service logon requests? Thanks!
