    I've had no issues, but you can quickly fix the trust w/out a reboot.  Log in as a local admin and open an administrative Terminal or PowerShell session.  Type the following commands.

    Reset-ComputerMachinePassword -Credential [DomainCredentials]
    Test-ComputerSecureChannel -Repair -Credential [DomainCredentials]

    When the Test-ComputerSecureChannel returns "true," log off and log back on using a domain account.  All should be good.

    Yes, we have been having the same issue. It's when the machine password changes, they loose the trust.

    There are multiple other posts too, but none with a solution, apart from disable machine password change.

      This has been happening in the last month with both server 2025 and 2022. IIn the 2022 environment the client had not logged-in for a period of two weeks.

        Hi,

        We had the exact same problem and made a case at Microsoft.
        They are releasing a fix the coming days to solve this issue.
