system reverting from domain to work group on reboot

This is an old post but it might give you a few things to check.
Solved: XP Workstation Unable To Join Domain
If the machines were added via script I suppose the most obvious thing to check is that of removing the machines and users from the Domain and then add both back manually without the use of any script. You could try it on one machine anyway to see if it makes the slightest difference.
Is there any Group Policy in place on these machines that prevents then from saving any settings when rebooted?

Is it a problem with the Server then? Are you saying that since a certain date (or happening) you can no longer add any machine, and keep it connected, to the Server?
If you were to connect another never connected before machine (and user) to the Domain does that experience the same problem?
Have you thought about asking you question in one of the Server Forums where others are more likely to have come across this problem?

problem is no longer occuring. I suspect that someone that manages AD sent out a policy that screwed the domain registration of the systems up after reboot and then found out what problems were going on and reverted the GP to a previous incarnation. unfortunately, they'll never own up to it if that is indeed what happened. We did notice some wierd things happening in GP during this event, but never looked to see if it restricted domain access to the systems.
