Windows cannot obtain the domain controller name for your computer

However, other machines do not log this error. All machines were
configured similarly and all function normally in every other respect.

That is a typical error message for either DNS or the "always wait for the network.." policy unset, originally. Have you checked client DNS settings are ok?

On one machine, I set the local policy to wait for network before
allowing login:
Computer\Administrative Templates\System\Logon\[Always wait for the
network at computer startup and logon]
This revealed a new Event Log error saying that SYSTEM simply could
not access the startup BAT file on the network. Permissions are set
the same for all computers, though some got it and some couldn't.

Okay-- the setting is applied on all machines? What permissions are on the share (just to be sure?) Can you test "Authenticated Users" with at least "Read" permissions?

cheers,
Florian
