You can get this message if you restore a virtual machine, or have a raid problem and restore a raid 1 mirror from a slightly older hdd. I got and offline member for two weeks without noticing and then the second hdd when bad so i could not boot anymore.
Reactivated the offline member and changed the bad hdd rebuild the raid and then you get the error message while trying to access the domain.
Also got this but making an image of a pc in the domain and restored it a few month later to a new pc, then could not add it to domain.
You can try to remove it from domain and add it back and it should work.
Or (you need at leas Power shell 3.0 or upgrade to it if not) then run:

Intel Raid error occurred (0) offline member status failed
On Intel® Matrix Storage raid you can get the errors :
error occurred (0) - the controller has encountered read/write errors (the hdd has bad sectors) and should be replaced
offline member - for some reason the hdd is offline and not active in the raid so the hdd is unused, you can get with this one in raid 1 with mirror as you will still be able to boot.
If you get an offline member and don't do anything and then you get an error occurred (0) as i got on a Supermicro X7DB3 server you will not be able to boot in os anymore.
How to fix it ?
Remove the error occurred(0) hdd - you can try by removing one by one restart and check raid members hdd status, then access the raid utility by pressing CTRL+I
and you will be asked to reactive the offline member.
Next buy a new hdd to change the error occurred(0) hdd and it will rebuild the raid back, you can still boot to windows just with one hdd until you get a new one.
To see the status of the raid rebuild install : Intel® Matrix Storage Manager.
