Error: The security database on the server does not have a computer account for this workstation trust relationship

Question

Hey!

We run into a problem I've never seen before. We configured the Active directory as usual and after some updates and reboots, our access to the server was denied with and error: "Error: The security database on the server does not have a computer account for this workstation trust relationship"

At the moment we can't access with any user. Any idea how to reset the active directory from the BIOS, or how to access with a safe/recovery mode or similar, or simply bypass the Active directory to reconfigure it?

thanks.

Answer 1

I am in the same position. My quick workaround before the IT Dept fixes the issue is to disconnect wifi and network cable, then log in and reconnect to the network. It works for now.

Answer 2

I had the error "The security database on the server does not have a computer account for this workstation trust relationship" in a laptop not being used for a while. I found it in Active Directory Users and Computers console, right-clicked on the computer and chose Enable account, after that laptop logged in normally.

Thanks Nusya :-)

Була така ж проблема, не заходив ні в який обліковий запис. Вирішив проблему оновленням ОС. У вікні авторизації натиснув кнопку вимкнути ПК, де він пропонує інсталювати оновлення і вимкн. чи перезавантажитись. Він доінталював свої оновлення перезавантажився і проблема була вирішена.
