Hey everyone, I'm a new system admin and I've been facing a frustrating issue with several servers throwing the error: "The security database on the server does not have a computer account for this workstation trust relationship" when I try to log in. The common solution I've seen is to disjoin and rejoin the servers to the domain, which works temporarily, but less than a week later the problem returns. I even attempted to use PowerShell to repair the trust relationship, but that didn't solve it either. Does anyone have any suggestions or thoughts on how I can tackle this issue? I'm running Server 2022 on VMWare, by the way.

Check if there's any time drift on your virtual machines. If you've got a time server set up and things are still out of sync, that could definitely be causing this problem. Just make sure everything is correctly synchronizing with that time source!
It sounds like you might be dealing with a time-sync issue. It's crucial for domains to have their clocks synced correctly. You should also check the overall health of Active Directory. If you're consistently experiencing these trust issues, it might be worth running a diagnostic on your domain controllers to see if there are any underlying problems.
Time is synced fine on all machines, thanks!
