The special domain either does not exist or could not be contacted.

Hello, I am not sure this is right place for this message so you are
wellcome to point me in to the right place.
We have 2000 server based domain with 3 domain controllers. Everething
was working fine, until I tryed to add any domain user to local
adminstrators group in computers belonged to domain. The problem persists on
every computer and whith every user in domain I tryed.
For add user to local administrators group I log on to computer as local (or
domain) administrator and make few simple steps:
local users and groups -- groups, choosing administrators groups --
all tasks -- add to group -- press add, choosing from drop down menu our
domain and choosing some domai user. When I press OK the next message
appeared:
Processing of object <user name> failed with the following error:
The special domain either does not exist or could not be contacted.

If I try again there will be only local computer to choose from grayed out,
like no domain available. Once again it happens with every computer and with
every user I tryed and beside that there is not any problem in domain
(everything just working fine). If I use Network indentification wizard it
works well and I can add user to local computer and make him local
administrator.
The question is what is wrong with my domain and how may I fix it.
Thank you in advance.
Gennady.
