You get that message when the account you are using does not have a locally
cached copy and the computer cannot connect to the domain controller.
The local cached profile can't be helped at that point so make sure it has a
connection to the dc. Make sure the machine is on the network(look in the local
dhcp server and ping the address from another machine), look in the dns server
to see if it is registering properly(this verifys that the computer has the
correct dns settings and can resolve the dc), and then check to see if global
catalog server is up.
You really should have a local admin account setup on those machines.

Subject: [windows2000] Domain not available
I've got an issue I haven't seen before. I have a Windows 2k Pro machine that
is giving an error when you try to sign in "The system cannot log you on now
because the domain "DOMAINNAME" is not available."
Unfortunately there is no option to log onto the local machine like you would
normally have. I have looked on Ms's site but I haven't found anything that
helpful. Anyone seen this? Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.
