I looked up these errors with Microsofts Knowledge base and came to this topic.

http://support.microsoft.com/kb/891559

Im not sure how to fix this problem, but im wondering is the Server going offline during these errors?  or is the computers not seeing this server?

It appears that when this happens the Client PC basically freezes up (this machine is connected to the Domain)

any ideas?

Check that the timezone on the client is correct and the time is set to within 5 minutes of the time on the Domain Controllers.

im finding the same errors on other machines in this office as well.....

it seems to be happening in the morning & at around 430 - 5

i checked that , and ran the net sntp command to verify they are sync'd

adarrell

The commands to reset time sync at a client are:

NET TIME /SETSNTP:
NET TIME /SET /YES

You have to have the timezone correct as well or it doesn't work even if you sync the time.

If that still doesn't work, have you tried removing the offending computers from the domain and re-joining?

Cheers

The Security System could not establish a secured connection with the server DNS/prisoner.iana.org.  No authentication protocol was available
