Because of the W32 errors make sure that the computers are in synch timewise
with the domain controllers and that the w32 time service is started. I
would also run the support tool netdiag on a couple of those computers to
see if there is any problems found for dns, dc discovery, Kerberos, secure
channel/trust. Another thing to try is to unjoin the computer from the
domain, delete the computer account in AD, and then join the computer to the
domain again. You may also want to post in the active_directory newsgroup
and check those client Event IDs at
