It sounds Like it could be a DNS issue. Make sure all machines are pointing to the same dns. They should ideally be pointed to an active directory server with dns service running on it. Of course dns is easy to troubleshoot because you can try and access the machine by ip. If you can, it's dns.
all systems have their dns set to the sbs server. they recieve their ip from the router. The tools I am refering to are Remote desktop, system management mmc viewing of the eventlogs remotely etc. prevously they did not and were getting secure channel aut errors once they were switched to server dns that was corrected. connecting by ip or dns both give same error
the systems have all been put in the (domain)>my business>computers>sbscomputers ou under AD.
