“The Trust Relationships between workstation and primary domain failed” time to time we are getting such error on the Client computers. And most of the time we join PC to workgroup and join it back to the domain. It is annoying, you have to reboot PC two times, and user start to have issue after. But that how our fathers did, that what they tough us, and that is how we do it now. I admit I was doing it too, and I am deeply ashamed of it.
Sometimes it is good to know and love reading, especially technical literature, it puts you to sleep, but also shows you new things. For Example:
There are 2 commands that you can use which will remedy the issue above:
You can run this one from the server, only issue that workstation have to have Remote Administration Port opened
netdom reset MachineName /domain DomainName /UserO UserName /PasswordO {Password|* }
UserO and PasswordO refer to the account that is member of Local Administrators group
Or you can run following command on the client:
nltest /Server:ServerName /SC_Reset:DomaindomainController
If this does not work you can always reset computer account in AD and just join PC to the domain again.
