I have been loosing workstations off of the domain
unable to log in as administrator. I am getting a message " The trush relationship between this workstation and the primary domain has failed.
The workstations seem to be going down one at a timeI have lost 3 stations over the last 2 days.
Any clues to what is wrong with my server.
The only way to get them back on the domain was to rename them and then I could rejoin the domain.
Any Ideas?

Thanks
Connie

Have you tried using server manager and removing and then re-adding them?

What OS are the problem stations running? Are the users moving them into a workgroup or into another domain? Have they been turned off for 7 days or more? Some stations will be removed if they are not "actively participating on the domain" (ie.. Off) for 1 week or more

I have experienced this before as well

you have to make the pc a member of a workgroup instead of a domain,same name is fine, delete the entry from the server, reboot the unit and rejoin the domain, reboot and the relationship is back up :-)

I did solve the problem, the netlogon file on the server was corrupt and had to be readded. once I readded it
all stations were able to log on without readding to the domain
thanks for your response hope my solution helps you out in the future.
