Hi, It seems that your domain controller is messed up and quite a lot of issues exist on it. I suggest formatting a full virus scan. If the issue persists, I suggest replacing this domain controller with a new one. The steps may be complicated and time-consuming. However, in this way, all the current and potential problems can be cleaned up. After that, we will get a stable domain controller. If it is the single domain controller in your domain? If so, please refer to the following article to replace it: How to replace single domain controller in domain with a single domain controller? http://support.microsoft.com/kb/555549 If you have other domain controllers in your domain, you can demote the problematic domain controller first, format the drive and then reinstall the domain controller. For more information about how to demote and reinstall a domain controller, please refer to the following articles: Demote a domain controller http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc740017.aspx Create an additional domain controller http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc781792.aspx Hope it helps.
