We have an older PC that wasn't configured with our new DNS servers so I logged in and made the change. I logged out and attempted to sign back in but get the message, &quot;the trust relationship between this workstation and the primary domain failed,&quot; and &quot;The security database on the server does not have a computer account for this workstation trust relationship.&quot; I attempted to login as the local admin but get the same errors. I also unplugged it from the network, rebooted and attempted to login but get the message that there are no logon servers available.<br />

&nbsp;I've had to do this in the past and have always been able to login as the local admin, remove it from the domain and then re-add it and it's worked fine. This is a Windows 7 x64 machine.
