Trust relationship between this workstation and the primary domain failed
We currently have a windows 2003 domain and 8 Domain Controllers spread out in the organization. The setup is as follows:-
- HQ - 3 Domain Controllers
- Site 2 - 2 Domain Controllers (FSMO role holders)
and 3 other branch sites have a Domain Controller each.
An issue started cropping up on machines getting the Trust relationship issue when users try to login to them. The machine accounts seem to be alive and well on AD when it gets this trust issues and need to be re-added. Even after re-adding the machine to the domain some machines get the same error again a week or so after. We have yet to isolate it to a certain Operating System or maybe a culprit GPO. Right now it seems to be randomly happening across the domain. Is there any way of actually pinpointing the cause of this error that occurs on the machines??

have done some research on the issue and found that it seems to be a vulnerability with win7 machines. didn't really get a confirmation on whether it was or not. may need to research some more.

The exact issue is that after the machine is installed with win7, after about a week or so the machine gets kicked out of the network with that error. Re-adding to the domain works but a week later the same issue arises again.
Does anyone else face similar issues with win7 machines and was able to resolve it? Is this a vulnerability? And if so has MS released a patch yet on this issue?
