Access denied adding member server to domain

I have an enterprise 2003 OS on this server and for some reason the ability to share folders dissapeared. So, I removed it from the domain and then tried adding it back and I keep getting access denied when using a domain admin account. What might be wrong here?

On the problem server,  please open a command prompt and enter the following:

cd C:\
gpresult /z >result.txt

This will create a report at C:\result.txt, please post it here.

Check the server for viruses or other maleware.

Delete the account for the server in both AD users and computers and in DNS.

Also try joining the domain as DOMAIN.COM, DOMAIN, domain.com, or domain

I've noticed that for some reason joining a domain in one way will work and the other way may not.

Then try again.

So, are you attempting to do all of this remotely?  Just want to confirm that.

Also, is your domain configured with EFS (Encrypted File System)?  Do you have ISA Server installed?

Deleted server from AD and DNS but still access denied. There is no EFS or ISA installed. Right before this happened, file sharing options were not available. After removing from domain, share options became available again. Now can't rejoin domain. Still getting Access Denied. Upper and lower case letters not making a difference.
Must be something on that server causing the problem, check the security settings.

Please close this with no points to give away. Full OS reinstall did the trick.
