Good morning,
I had this same issue on the same windows 2003 standard server SP1 early this spring. After i applied SP1 it cleared up but the issue has returned and i need some help. Seems users are just disappearing from AD. Yesterday 1 user vanished and this morning 2 different user have disappeared. DCDIAG and NETDIAG come back clean. Google says lots of people have had this issue but i see no remedies or pointers to the root cause. Server is 100% up2date on patches and service packs. I have added a 2nd DC, windows 2003 R2 a month ago, has been working fine up until now. The accounts are missing from the replica also. The server with the issue is the FSMO master and the R2 server is a 2nd global catalog server. Both servers run DHCP and DNS(AD Integrated), dns is functioning well. DC's are on different subnets and replication is working fine. Any thoughts?
thanks,
