I agree with this suggestion. Try removing the machine from the domain (from the problem machine), then reset the account and then readd the machine. If you have more than one DC, either wait for replication or force replication before adding back to domain after you reset the computer account.

If the machine is really having issues then wipe and rebuild. Sorry this is the best I can come up with. You might also look to make sure the NIC is functional, but in my environment that has been rarely the problem.

If I unplug the computer from the network, log the user on, then connect back to the network, I have all domain capabilities. Tried resetting the computer account in AD, but to not avail.
