1053 is the only error (or warning) I'm getting. There is no firewall between me and the DC's, no ipsec, etc, etc. Also boxes setup identically (except different hardware) work fine.

Do you see error #15 in the log? I have also seen this where there where DNS issues. I ended up doing the same thing, removing and re-joining to no avail. I flushed the DNS cache and re-registered, that stopped the error. You say that you only get this a boot though, you are not using IPsec or any filtering all are you?

In the properties tab of the adaptor force the link speed to "1000" or "Auto 1000" rather than just plain Auto. I have found this setting needs to be set on the Broadcom network adaptors in the Dell Optiplex range.
