The trust relationship between this workstation and the primary domain failed.

I've successfully deployed the image from the k2 but when logging in to the domain I get this message. I've read a bunch and look everywhere to find out what might be causing this issue and no luck. Everything works if i leave the domain and rejoin.

    <component name="Microsoft-Windows-UnattendedJoin" processorArchitecture="x86" publicKeyToken="31bf3856ad364e35" language="neutral" versionScope="nonSxS">
      <Identification>
        <JoinDomain>domainname.com</JoinDomain>
        <Credentials>
          <Domain>domainname.com</Domain>
          <Username>administrator</Username>
          <Password>password</Password>
        </Credentials>
      </Identification>

Any tips would be great! Thanks in advance!

Have you thought about joining the domain as a post install rather than in the xml? I never had much luck with doing it that way.

  • I'll +1 this suggestion. It isn't too difficult to set this up, and it seems to work much better than the unattend file. - Ben M 11 years ago
  • I put the join_domain.vbs in the windows\system32 directory on my images so all I have to do is call it as a post task.
    I autologon as a local account and let the post run and join the domain during that part and then autologon as a domain user for 2 more time after that so GPO's and other can update.

  • Thanks for all the replies. SMal.tmcc can I bug you to post your vbscript for joining the domain? Thanks in advance. - iandizon 11 years ago

    • Should be on your kbox, it came with mine. I found it at \\ikbox\peinst\applications\3.
      Note: We pre-create our machines in the correct ou ahead of time using an ldap utility or just reuse the existing name. This script will put a machine in the default OU if it is not already an object. I have seen some great scripts from the others that will let you choose your OU also.

      Const ACCT_DELETE = 4

      Const JOIN_UNSECURE = 64
      Const MACHINE_PASSWORD_PASSED = 128
      Const DEFERRED_SPN_SET = 256
      Const INSTALL_INVOCATION = 262144

      If WScript.Arguments.Count &amp;amp;lt; 3 or WScript.Arguments.Count &amp;amp;gt; 4 Then
      WScript.Quit
      Else
      strDomain = WScript.Arguments.Item(0)
      strUser = WScript.Arguments.Item(1)
      strPassword = WScript.Arguments.Item(2)

      'set DNS IP address

the two things I know that have caused this.

The target machines date and time is different from the DC's.

You have more then one machine with the same name (usually caused having machine name in the unattended file and all got it or as Ben said not syspreping).

Just a guess, but the last time I saw this it was caused by me not sysprepping my image.

It happens with my VM Images every month once.

I have to rejoin it to domain by logging in as a local administrator and then retaking the snapshot.

Any resolution for that as well?


Comments:
  • Just curious what form of VM are you using? I seem to have the same problem as well. I never took the time to troubleshoot it. After I get logged in I usually forget about it until the next time. - dugullett 11 years ago

    • Cool..... so looks like I'll keep changing every month. - dugullett 11 years ago
  • You can change the time of expiration of the secure channel password on the domain from the default of 30 days to a larger number or just do not require one at all. We have had to up our expiration to 180 days. We use deepfreeze on the acad side the machines never really update their end till they are thawed. - SMal.tmcc 11 years ago
  • Thanks for your inputs everyone.. It seems that I am not alone who is facing this issue. :) - piyushnasa 11 years ago
  • No the secure channel has always haunted us. I do not use a VM I have a master machine I just do windows image backup and restore's and any or my images I restore over a 180 days complain yet. It can be set not to need a PW but being a college teaching CT that is like giving a monkey a gun and box of bullets. Withiout one you could spoof a machine into the domain - SMal.tmcc 11 years ago
  • The next time your VM does that try to just reset the PW
