Hi,
Try to remove one of your workstations
from the domain,Join it in again and see whether you
get the same error.
You may need to check on the your Domain Controllers
and the roles played by each.
Is one of your Domain Controllers out of the Network or
something?
Thanks.

I had the same problem once, but maybe it's a different issue.
Try to check also if your DNS Server has a record for this workstation.

In my situation, I found that a pc had the DHCP Service stopped.

Have a nice day,
