AD Users & Computers: Unable to Search Entire Forest Anymore

I recently installed updates and service packs on our domain controllers and shortly after I noticed this issue which I believe may have been due to the updates. Used to be when I was in Active Directory Users and Computers on the primary parent DC I could see our 2 child domains as objects in the forest, and I could look at users/groups in them from there. Now they have vanished. Also it used to be when I was adding security groups to members in the child domains in AD Users and Computers, and I clicked on Locate, I would get the entire forest tree and child domains and I could search for and add any group to a user in there, now it limits me to the tree for the child domain only. Also when I look at group memberships of users on the child domains that I know are a part of security groups from the parent domain, it doesn't display that they are. I have been searching high and low for a fix for this for 2 weeks now and not having much luck. I don't believe it's a trust issue as I ran trust verifications on all of them and they all passed, and dcdiag and netdiag looks clean and no eventlog errors being logged on them. That's why I think something with a Windows Update must of changed the way that was working somehow. Anybody ever run into this?
