Unable to add certain users from Active Directory

I have GFI FaxMaker 14.2 up and running, but I have about 10 users I can not add from Active Directory.  When I run the add user utility in FaxMaker the Active Directory does not grab certain user from my domain or from their OU.  Any suggestions?

First of all I'm assuming you're doing this from the server that is part of the domain. Verify your DNS settings, also if you have a primary and secondary DNS it does not hurt to try switching them just to see and Run -> ipconfig /flushdns. Then Run -> ipconfig /registerdns.

To narrow down the scope of problem, do you have any users in that same OU that does show up? Can you create a brand new user in that problem OU and see what happens?
Also do you have a DNS suffix?

Yes the server running GFI FaxMaker is part of the domain.  I had already flushed/registered the DNS.  I also swapped the primary and secondary DNS entries.  

Yes, there are approximately 35 users in that OU and they show up and are allowed tobe added.  I dreated a new user that day and added her successfully.

I do use a DNS suffix.
Compare the group membership and while at it the other user properties for the 10 users with a known to be working user account residing in that same OU. Any difference?
They are all in the same groups and have the same security.
I can only see these users in active driectory if the Advanced features is turned on?
