Hi Dalton It sounds very strange. I'm no Samba dev but I do have a fair experience with AD. Could it be that the Windows server in question has somehow got one of the FSMO roles assigned to it? If it were say a RID master then nothing would be able to make any form of account on the domain until the RID master has synced with other domain controllers. The time difference could have been sufficient to stop that replication happening. Does the output of "netdom query fsmo" on the corporate domain controllers and on the server with time problems agree? It also strikes me that you say you have the issue affect both Samba and XP clients? Or was the problem on XP described substantially different for the XP boxes?
