Hello @Keith Miller ,

Thank you for posting here.

Hope the information provided by DSPatrick above is helpful.

Or you can reset secure channel password by steps below for workstation(s) that have fallen off the Domain.

1. Logon these workstations using local Administrator account.
2. Open CMD (run as Administrator).
3. Run the command below on the computers.
   Netdom resetpwd /s:target_server /ud:mydomain\domain_admin /pd:*

/s: server is the name of the domain controller to use for setting the machine account password. This is the server where the KDC is running.
/ud: domain\User is the user account that makes the connection with the domain you specified in the /s parameter. This must be in domain\User format. If this parameter is omitted, the current user account is used.
/pd: * specifies the password of the user account that is specified in the /ud parameter. Use an asterisk (*) to be prompted for the password.
