Can join machines to domain, but not login

Out of the blue, I'm unable to log new machines into the domain.  I can join machines to domain, but when I try to log into the domain on them, I get the error "Account Not Found!"

I see the machines have been joined under the computers group when I look in AD, so they are being added.

Disjoining them, renaming and rejoining has no effect.

Know what is up?

Hi, to rule out duplicate SIDs, I did sysprep one and tried newsid (sysinternals) on another - same thing.  Systems are XP
resolved: and here it is.

For whatever reason, logging in on XP machines using domain\userName  in the user name field was resulting in the error.

When I used my userName in the name filed, then chose the domain from the drop down, it worked.

Perhaps a recent change to the DCs after a recent patching?, but very strange.

Thanks for the help!
yeah that won't work  domain\username

you can also use the UPN to login   username@upnsuffix
