Thanks for your reply

DNS is set OK and point to our DC's.

I also ran the Microsoft Best Practice analyser and this again found no glaring issues.

I suspect it would not, because the server is OK at the moment. I'm worried it will start messing up in a day or two :(

All is now OK, problem resolved itself. I suspect it was a general network error as I found a network port on one of our switch was which was not working properly, replaced switch and no further issue.
