DC Freezing Event ID: 1000 Return value (2146)

Symptoms: The DC that logs this event freezes all services - in other words, no print services, name resolution, mail, etc. are available. When I try to log on as Administrator and/or my account, I get an error indicating that I have supplied the wrong credentials at which point I have to reboot the server. When the server comes back up, I log in and see the Userenv error below

Any help would be appreciated
Thanks

I have been receiving this error sporadically - it doesn't appear to be releated to W32time, NICs, or DNS. I have only one DC and one member server on the domain

Description
Windows cannot obtain the domain controller name for your computer network. Return value (2146).
 
Have you properly setup your DNS?

use NSLOOKUP to see if your DNS is properly resolving your domain / PC's


99% of the time, AD / domain issues are DNS related
 
DNS is correctly configured (nslookup resolves properly). This is a (seemingly) random occuring event. There are no other errors in any of the logs that are occuring at the same times as this one. Any other suggestions?
