Windows 7 Domain Computers falling off domain and missing programs

Question

So this is starting to become an issue in the school district I work in. Users will complain they cant log in. I show up and I see the log-in for the Local Admin account we've created. The computer is no longer on the domain. I log-in and check the event viewer and can't seem to pinpoint the cause. I look and see the users local profile folder is still intact. All of the application that were installed including Office are gone. It's like the computer did a system restore but there are no restore points available. Any idea's?

Hi,

Did this issue occur for all domain computer or specific one? Please check if the domain user profile is intact.

If you make sure there is no user removing the computer from the domain manually, I suspect the root is AD side.

Please check if you have set some schedule or anything else to clear some data from Active directory or DNS.

Use your anti-virus to scan the whole computer, then re-join the domain to keep observing.

Meanwhile, please refer to this thread:
