DC is not a DC account?

HI all

this morning i arrive at work with my dc reporting funny errors:  event 1126, 1655, and 1869 and 1863.  
It is a dc, gc and dns.  It is the RID master and the PDC master.

when i try open DNS i get "access is denied".

when i run dcdiag /v i get millions of errors, but this ones worries me the most:

Starting test: MachineAccount
         The account HPHS-VM1 is not a DC account.  It cannot replicate.
         Warning:  Attribute userAccountControl of HPHS-VM1 is:
         0x91000 = ( WORKSTATION_TRUST_ACCOUNT | DONT_EXPIRE_PASSWD | TRUSTED_FOR_DELEGATION )
         Typical setting for a DC is
         0x82000 = ( SERVER_TRUST_ACCOUNT | TRUSTED_FOR_DELEGATION )
         This may be affecting replication?
         ......................... HPHS-VM1 failed test MachineAccount

      Starting test: NCSecDesc
         Error NT AUTHORITY\ENTERPRISE DOMAIN CONTROLLERS doesn't have
            Replicating Directory Changes In Filtered Set
         access rights for the naming context:

         DC=ForestDnsZones,DC=hphs,DC=ac,DC=za
         Error NT AUTHORITY\ENTERPRISE DOMAIN CONTROLLERS doesn't have

            Replicating Directory Changes In Filtered Set
         access rights for the naming context:

         DC=DomainDnsZones,DC=hphs,DC=ac,DC=za
         ......................... HPHS-VM1 failed test NCSecDesc

from this problematic machine i can \\servername and it will show me and give me access to the resources on that machine, however when i \\HPHS-VM1 from any other machine in the domain i get "\\hphs-vm1 is not accessible.  you might not have permissions to use this network resource.  Contact the administrator of this server to find out if you have access permissions.  Logon Failure: The target account name is incorrect.  however if i \\machine-ip it gives me acess to the resources.

My remaining two DC2 are running fine and handling logons etc.

any advice?

Have you tried to reboot that "faulty" DC, first? Please try this simple step firstly :]

After all, if teh problem still perists, did you make any changes on that VM server? Any DC restoration from snapshot or something similar?

Regards,
Krzysztof
Additionally, please check in ADUC colsone under Domain Controllers if this server is still DC (if it is, there should be its account there). Maybe someone decommissioned it?

thanks for the reply.

First thing i did was reboot it.  and no change.  No changes have been made on the server (or network for that matter) in more than a month.

if i open ADUC on the offending machine, inside the Domain Controllers OU, it is listed along side the other 2 DC's but under DC Type it is listed as DC.  

On the functional DC's under ADUC Domain Controller OU, it is listed as just a GC.  does that matter?

i have a full server backup from friday night.  would it not be easier to first try restore to previous date?
Yes, if you have recent system state backup, do non-authoritative restore for that :)

worked fine untill i rebooted it just to make sure... then the same issues started creepying up. however i am now only receiving one error in from ADDS 1308.  but dns is still not running.  will continue to work at it.  
ok, restarted systemstate again, and i have left it running... not going to reboot it just yet.  i can only see one problem... its not show a sysvol folder, so there is obviously still something not right somewhere.  but i am tired, and will only care enough again in about 5 hours time.
OK, so try with this MS article about "How to rebuild SYSVOL"

If i am starting to understand this problem correctly... could it be that this domain controller account hphs-vm1 has "reset" itself?  and thats is why all this bad shit is happening to me?

if i dont come right soon i will follow the instructions from the first post Krysztof made
