RE: Windows Universal Storage Server 2003 quits working

I am having a problem with Windows Storage server . Every three weeks (to the
day) stops communicating with the domain controllers. At first it seems like
a network issue, but no other machines are affected (either servers or
workstations). The symptoms are as follows:

1. Cannot remote desktop into the machine, says domain controller cannot be
reached for authentication (UserEnv error ID 1053 occurs in Application log)

2. DFS Replication stops (of course it cannot find either DC, one of which
it replicates to Event ID 5002)

3. Local workstations can access files, remote workstations that need to
authenticate to acces files cannot

4. Not able to connect to internet through IE. IP configuration is correct
on NIC card.

5. Recieve LSASRV error in system log, Event ID 40960 and NETLOGON error,
Event ID 5719.

There are no scheduled (anything) that corrosponds with the timing of this,
and all processes, CPU, and memory seem normal. There are no additional error
messages as to why this happens and all hardware seems to be working
properly. A restart will fix this for the three week period.

The only software installed is Veritas backup Exec Agent (which works
normally), Veritas Continious Protection Server Agent (which quits working),
and Trend Micro Client (set to scan in off hours, no real time scans) There
is no known malware or viruses present on the system.

The Server is a Dell NX1950 with a MD3000 Raid Enclosure. All Firmware,
Bios, and MS patches are updated. If anyone has a clue as to what may be
causing this, or if you need more information, let me know. We have been
having this problem since October, and the Tech support at Dell does not seem
to be able to figure it out either.
