Because Windows uses multiple name resolution methods.  Without knowing
the details of your environment, I can speculate that the domain
controller may have at one time been handling the browser issues for
your segment, but now some other machine is handling that role, and
doesn't have all the info for the domain.

I'm not completely familiar with the totality of ActiveDirectory yet, as
I've mostly toyed with NT4 in the past. I have not configured WINS, and
I'm not sure if it's running.

DNS is running on FreeBSD.  Our domain controller exists in the format
of servername.sageautomation.com.

According to your link,

         A correctly configured DNS infrastructure is essential
         to the proper operation of Active Directory.

I may have to play around with DNS to further test this problem.  I find
it odd that I have been able to add this workstation to the Domain in
the past, and it is also the only one I have tested so far.  If it is a
name issue, how would I have been able to add it previously? Hmm.
