How do you fix a trust relationship between a workstation and a primary domain?

Question

My idea was Take the PC out of the domain. Delete the workstation object from the domain, if it remains. Add the PC back into the domain.

Answer 1

Is it a one or two way trust? Windows NT are one way only. Windows Server 03/08 allow two way. Is it a short cut trust between two child domains? If you know how to revoke a trust you can do that in Active Directory. Or use the command line: netdom trust TrustingDomainName /d:TrustedDomainName /remove



***So yes, revoke the trust and let the wizard recreate it if you're using Server 03/08

Answer 2

Right click on My Computer on the workstation and select Properties. Click on the Computer Name tab and then click the Change button. Select the workgroup dial button and set the workgroup to Workgroup. This will remove you from the domain. Enter the admin username and password and reboot. The Workstations trust has now been reset. Upon reboot, verify that the domain no longer sees your computer as a member. You do this by logging into the Domain Controller (DC) and use Active Directory Users and Computers. Traverse down the Active Directory name and into the Computers folder. Look for your computer. If it is still there... keep refreshing until it is gone. Once it is gone.... add it back into the active directory from the workstation reversing the process of removing. The workstations domain account became corrupt.
