Thanks for replying. It does seem like someone changed our password;
however we have other users who are members of the "Domain Admins". We
cannot login to the server using these users either...this is what I
meant when I stated "for any user". We have tried to RDC to the
server, both inside and outside the LAN, and cannot login with the
Administrator account. We have not tried to login to the server, using
RDC inside the LAN, using one of these other "Domain Admin" accounts,
just the Administrator account.

Have you tried a CONSOLE logon? You might merely have a Remote
Desktop/Terminal Service problem.

What about connecting with other tools? AD Users and Computers etc?
(These tools can run on a Workstation if you load AdminPak.msi)

At a workstation on the domain, we tried one logging in one user to
the workstation and it worked. But I do not think this user is in the
Domain Admins group.

I am beginning to think something is wrong with the "Domain Admins"
group and the "Administrators" group..they are different-correct?

Domain Admins is the correct group for users to be added. It is a global
group and a member of the local group Administrators (on the domain and
computers).

Not sure what you mean by a "console" login? If you mean, sitting in
front of the server and logging in, we have done that. The fact that
we could not login at the server prompted us to try RDC. Plus, I am
still off-site trying to help troubleshoot this and learn as much as I
can about the options until I get on-site tomorrow. Do you still think
using the AdminPak.msi would help? If so, where do I obtain it and how/
where do I install it?
