Have you checked both the dc's log file as well as the local machine file?

Check the settings for the Security Event Log. Sounds like one of them
(DC or workstation) is full. MS has ridiculous defaults for the event
logs. They might have been good when hard drives were 20,30,100MB in size.

I always:

1) increase the maximum size (20-50MB)
2) set them to delete old entries as required.

This keeps a reasonable history and you will never get the "log file is
full"....
