Did you check the event logs in Windows- they may provide some
additional info.
This error sounded familiar- most of my users are in a Samba domain,
but I have one group that uses Windows 2003 active directory domain. A
few years back they had some weird issues that ended up being (possibly)
related to the gigabit network connection. It had been hard to trace
and had only been affecting newer machines.
I think the following link was relevant.

Yes, the PDC is also acting as the WINS server. The XP workstation is
using WINS, set via DHCP (option netbios-name-servers <ip address of

Hi all,
I have recently experienced an intermittent problem of getting
the error
message of "Domain not available" at initial logon of some XP
workstations
connected to a Samba PDC. The domain does not seems to be
available after
some time after initial bootup of the XP workstation, from a
minute or two,
to more than 10 minutes sometimes.
Is there anyway to speed up this process? Thanks!
I have set HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows
NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogoncachedlogonscount to 0 to workaround
the problem
of having the logon frozen (and folders not being redirected)
during initial
logon when the network is not ready.
