This is still a problem. I've:
rejoined all machines to the domain.
Checked DNS for problems.
Found and disabled a second NIC.
Checked all services running at night.

Unfortunately none of this solved my problem, but I was lead in the right direction so I'm just going to split the points up. Thanks all for your help.
Thanks fekdep.

Ya. Something I had missed in the DNS. The former IT guy had put some static entries in the DNS. We killed EVERYTHING in the DNS and set it up again.
Thanks for updating.
I guess we should have asked more questions regarding the problem description. I think we assumed "inoperable if left on overnight" meant they didn't work at all, as opposed to the lost access to network and resources.
Cheers !

Shutting them off at night isn't the solution.
