XP clients randomely don't log in

We have recently migrated from a NT4 domain to Windows Server 2003 AD and we
are running in INTERIM mode. We are using Windows Server 2003 DNS. After the
migration XP clients, randomely are not able to log in, I think because they
get no logon script and are not possible to remotely connect. The solution
for us is to reboot the machine one or two times and then they work again.
In some cases I have seen that the client are not registered in the DNS but
in other case they are. If they are registered in the DNS I have seen it's
not possible to change domain/workgroup though you are logged in as a local
administrator, the button are dimmed out but after a restart the button are
clear and the logon script runs ???
What's happening ?

Sincerely

Make sure that all servers and workstations specify *only* the internal
AD-integrated DNS server's IP address in their network settings. The
AD-integrated DNS server should be set up with forwarders to your ISP's DNS
servers for external resolution.
