I'm having the same problem today except I only have 2 DC's. The problem child on my domain is the PDC though and it won't let me demote because it says it's not authorized and can't transfer FSMO roles, etc. to the BDC. I am trying to get a restore from backup for AD right now and my last resort I guess will be to manually remove the PDC from the domain and reintroduce it as a domain controller.

I have 4 domain controllers in 1 domain. When I'm on one of the 3 DC's that is not the PDC and I try to connect to the PDC it tells me I'm not authorized. I get this when trying to connect to the PDC's AD users and computers, DNS, or even a file share. I can however connect to any of these services using the IP address. This is strange because all DC's can ping each other and resolve the IP addresses from the names just fine and I don't seem to be having any DNS issues. The 3 DC's (not the PDC) can connect to each other just fine. I'm pretty sure I'm going to need to remove 1 or more of the DC's from the domain and re-introduce them. I'm just trying to figure out if I should remove the PDC or remove the other 3 DCs.
