Unable to login to a PC with Domain Admin Credentials
We recently changed the password on our Domain Administrator account (Administrator). However, after that, we can no longer login to any PC on the domain with domain\administrator. I can login to the Domain Controller with the credentials and when a user on the domain is prompted for Admin rights to update or install new software, the domain\administrator account credentials work.
I have verified that the trust between the domain and local PC is good. I also looked in Event Viewer on the domain and see the failed attempts for the domain login. I know the password is correct.
Any help will be appreciated.

Try using the previous credentials for the Domain Admin. Most likely, the systems are logging in using the Domain Admin's cached credentials. If you can log in with the old creds, reconfigure the domain members to wait for the network at logon.

I did try the old password, didn't work. I also changed the password again and verified the password. Still nothing.

Hey Robert, have you verified if you have any local or domain group policy for your computers OUs which prevents or deny login of domain\administrator account? It happens most like due to "Deny access to this computer from the network" or "Deny log on locally".
Its better if you can give a try on some workstation by adding domain\administrator in account in "Allow logon locally" using gpedit.msc
If still not resolved, it would be great if you can share the error message screenshot you receive while trying to login with administrator account.
