You'll need to provide more information before we can figure out what is
going wrong.
How many domain controllers are in this environment?
What operating system is the client machine running?
Is this problem limited to one client workstation or are multiple machines
having the same problem?
How many client workstations do you have total in this domain?
Does the client workstation ever successfully join the domain?
Does the computer name indicate that it is part of the domain or a member
of a workgroup?
Do you see the client's computer account in the Computers container in
Active Directory Users and Computers in the domain after it joins the
domain?
When it "unjoins" the domain, do you see the computer account in the
Computers container in AD Users and Computers?
What indication do you have that the client has "unjoined" the domain?
Are you getting any errors when the client "unjoins" the domain? If so,
what is the exact error?
How is the client connected to the domain?
Are you experiencing networking problems that makes the DC unavailable?
