Windows NT 4.0 - User Mgr for Domains will quit displaying after an amount of time. After a reboot, it works ok for a day or so. If left alone for some time, can dbl clk on icon of User Mgr for Domains and it won't appear but, Task Mgr shows it as running. What can I do to get it to work all the time without rebooting the server.

The user manager for domains is staying up from RPC connections based on netbios resolution with the PDC or BDCs of the specified domain. If there was an RPC problem you should have the effect of opening the user manager window, but no domain controller available message should come after it. As you mention the problem, it stays only to the exe itself. Take usrmgr.exe from the %systemroot% of your PDC and put it on your administrator workstation.
If this doesn't solve your problem, then renamethe exe to .old and apply a SP with the faulty session open.

Definately a service pack fault, have SP6a on NT 4.0 Servers.
Check for "Event Viewer" failed services & note that does the system get synchronized with other BDCs easily ?
