Domain Failure

If I lock my computer or boot up while I am connected to the server I get the following code, "the trust relationship between this workstation and the primary domain fails." I then disconnect from the network and login and the computer works and then I can connect back to the network. I can then access the entire network. However when the computer locks then i have to disconnect again and login and then reconnect.

The only thing that has changed is that my son coincidently changed the date on the computer. I have changed back to the correct time and date. I do not know it this will affect things, but this is the only thing that changed.

Windows 7 Pro and Windows Server 2008

I think you might want to try to add the computer to a workgroup, remove the computer account from AD and add the computer to the AD again. That should do the trick.

yes time not in sync will cause a problem like this check in your router if it can use internet time as there are numerous ntp sources like pool.ntp.org which I use in my home network. ntp sources are connected to atomic clocks and are as such the most accurate clocks going

I recently had the same issue happen to a windows 7 machine at our office. I had to un-join and then rejoin it to our company domain, and make sure that the machine was completely removed from AD. After I rejoined it and added it back to the correct OU everything seemed to work ok.

So I need to log out and login as Local Admin. unjoin the domain and then rejoin the domain. i then log back in using my account and all my files and settings will be intact?
