I am currently receiving this error message when launching active directory
users and computers.

"Naming information cannot be located because: no authority could be
contacted for authentication".

checked DNS and find that if i attempt to access the other domain controller
i receive a message that access is denied. obviously i have sort of active
directory authentication problem.

A system state restore was performed to solve an exchange server issue
(problem had occurred once before 7 weeks ago) and this has somehow broken
authentication of this domain controller with the network one.

Any ideas on how to fix this?

Your DC's passwords are out of sync, so you probably have to reset DC
