Solution Steps

  1. 1 Press Windows key + X and select 'Windows Terminal (Admin)' or 'Command Prompt (Admin)'. This opens an elevated command prompt where you can run administrative commands.
  2. 2 First, check the trust relationship by running the command 'nltest /sc_verify:yourdomain.com' (replace with your domain). This verifies the secure channel between the workstation and the domain controller. If it fails, the trust is broken.
  3. 3 If the trust is broken, you need to reset the computer account. On the domain controller, open ADUC (dsa.msc), find the computer account, right-click it and select 'Reset Account'. This resets the password for the computer account.
  4. 4 Back on the workstation, restart the computer. After reboot, log in with a domain user account. If the error persists, you may need to unjoin and rejoin the domain. Go to Settings > Accounts > Access work or school, click on the domain, and select 'Disconnect'. Then rejoin by clicking 'Connect' and entering the domain name.
  5. 5 If you are trying to log in with a computer account (which you shouldn't), create a new user account instead. In ADUC, create a new user and assign appropriate permissions.
