Clients cannot connect

I have been having a problem with my clients connecting to a Terminal Session. It happens every few days. The try to log in using the RDP client and the screen will just hang at the log on screen like it is trying to log on, but it never does. After a few minutes it will come up with an error stating the Domain Controller could not be found.

If I try to log in at the console I get the same thing. We are still running 4.0 DC's . The only thing that fixes the problem is a reboot and it will go away for days...

any help would be greatly appreciated...
 
Can you do to the domain controller and connect to the
terminal server?

When you say reboot, do you reboot the domain controller
or the terminal server?

Reboot the Terminal Server. No computer can connect via RDP connection and I cannot even log on at the console to the domain. I have to specify the local machine. There are 42 other servers that do not skip a beat when this happens. 6 of those 42 are a Citrix Farm.

I can connect to the computer via Server Manager on the PDC and BDC. I can also ping the server by name and IP from any machine when this happens.
 
There seems to be something wrong with the domain membership of the
TS (it is a member server in a NT 4.0 domain, I presume, since you
mention a PDC / BDC?).
I would take it out of the domain, delete the computer account on the
PDC and then rejoin it to the domain.
