I didn't run into that exact issue, but ran into something similar in
some respects.  We run UV on linux, but rely on our Active Directory
domain for authentication.  Earlier this year we ran into an issue where
new users were unable to log in at some point late in the day, but all
the currently logged in users were fine.  One of the domain controllers
had error messages regarding failed authentication for each failed login
attempt.  Running "dcdiag" on that domain controller revealed an issue
with one of the AD databases (sorry, can't remember which one).  I was
able to immediately resolve the problem by removing the problem DC's IP
address from /etc/krb5.conf on the UV server and recycling samba and
winbind.  Our Windows admin located MS documentation on fixing the DC
issue and was able to clear it up.

I recommend you run dcdiag on all the domain controllers and see if any
report problems.

Subject: [U2] [Unidata-Windows] Can login, but not execute any command

Upfront: The problem was solved by re-installing UniData

My client had UniData 7.2.3 on Windows within his domain. He rebooted
all
servers within his company over the weekend. Yesterday UniData suddenly
didn't work anymore. I could log in to the database, but any command,
whether Write, Select or catalogued subroutine would stop dead in its
track.
There was no error message, no indication what could have gone wrong.
UniObjects had no time-out, the application hung for hours.

I telneted into the database and many users got the unknown user error,
I
just found one user that allowed me to log in. I ran a few commands and
that
worked.

My hunch is that a Windows update changed NT-Authentication and UniData
didn't like it. Poking through the logs, I see in the Windows security
log
two entries for every UniData login, one success and one failure:
The first a success audit:
A trusted logon process has registered with the Local Security
Authority.
This logon process will be trusted to submit logon requests. 
 Logon Process Name:    \udapi_server.exe

Then a failure audit:
The logon to account: HHC-Unidata
 by: MICROSOFT_AUTHENTICATION_PACKAGE_V1_0
 from workstation: HORIZONSERV4
 failed. The error code was: 3221225572

The error code means: 32212255720    The specified user does not exist.
