Master Browser is something else to look for.  Basically go through the Directory Service log see if you see any warnings or errors, attempt to resolve (mainly finding servers, communicating with servers, or performing any type of sync of data).  Also check the DNS server logs for each DNS server you have to make sure they are running with only information notices.  Then check the system log and again look for warnings or errors.

In a clean domain you should have mainly info notices, not many warnings, and no errors (for the most part, at least they don’t repeat constantly or at intervals).

That’s the basics.  Normally you can track the issue down on microsoft or eventid.net and find something to attempt to resolve the issue.
