Whats the deal with wireless and authentication

I have a large number of users who use wireless to connect their laptops, windows based tablets and other devices. They do not physically connect to the network. Every few months from most of these users I get a "The Trust Relationship between the workstation and the primary domain failed."

What do I need to turn on, or turn off, for proper authentication to happen so that they no longer get this message. I also get this at one of our remote sites on physically connected hardware which connects via vpn, which does not have an AD server onsite. All of our domain servers are 08+. The domain/forest level is 2008.

Thanks guys, it seems as though there are a number of ways this issue can be recreated. And a couple of ways to quick fix it. The quick fix I had down one of the two ways. Log in as an admin, take it off the domain, add it back in. I didn't have the command to basically fix it.

For us it has almost always been where there wasn't a MS dns/dhcp/ad server, and separately with wireless devices. All relating back to the machine passwords it sounds like. Thx all.
