Why does an Active Directory trust relationship fail?

October 30, 2013 at 02:04PM:

Here at my workplace, they installed a domain (don’t know whick Windows they used). And every so often I’m called because some users have problems logging (back, in some cases) into their workstations. And seeing their attempts at log in, I see a message saying something about a failure in establishing a trust relationship between the workstation and the domain server.

Now, I fixed that several times logging in as a local Administrator, then removing the computer from the domain, and, after a reboot, joining it again to the domain. That’s my solution (don’t know if it works the same for anybody else.) My question here is: what causes the failure in establishing the trust relationship? And are there ways to prevent it?

Thank you all for your answers, beforehand
