Event 1053 Userenv error

Hello - we have a server that was recently DCPROMO demoted from a DC, down to a member server, and has successfully been reconnected and rejoined to the same domain on our network. We have several applications on the machine that are working, except for one application that runs unattended jobs in Windows 2003 Server, that appears to have trouble now. I don't see any errors related to the application jobs, however, but am having to run these job tasks manually to get them done. The main error I see is this one below:

Event Id 1053 Userenv User=NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM
Windows cannot determine the user or computer name. (The specified domain either does not exist or could not be contacted. ). Group Policy processing aborted.

I don't know if this is the cause of the jobs not running correctly, but it definitely is a new error.

Thanks to all for your suggestions. It turned out that the application needed to have the Windows task jobs recreated to fix the jobs problem, and then the User event error went away after running Sysprep, and rejoining the domain. Thank you for your efforts.
