Unable to contact domain controller event logs

What can cause the log messages that say "Unable to contact domain controller"? I see the log messages coming from both of the DC's that are configured for this site. When I go to Security & SD-WAN > Active Directory, it shows the status is green and appears to be connected.

Thanks!
