We switched our desktops from linked clones to instant clones once Horizon 8 was released. It was working fine for a while, but we are randomly getting the following error:
The logon request failed because the trust relationship between this workstation the primary domain failed.
I tried a few things. One was disabling the machine account password change with the registry: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/troubleshoot/windows-server/windows-security/disable-machine-accoun... but that didn't work. I also set the pool setting to reuse the computer name and that also didn't work.
We opened a ticket with VMware and they said to rejoin the PC to the domain, which I did an that didn't help. We also tried taking a snap with the machine off the domain, and that didn't help either. They are now pointing it back to our domain issue. We never had this issue with linked clones or any of or workstations on the domain.
I understand that this might be a domain issue but I'm not sure how to handle it with cloneprep or what steps I need to do with the base image or AD objects for the clones. And the fact that it's not affecting all machines is odd to me. If it was an issue with the SID or machine password I would think all machines would be impacted. Any help would be apricated. Thanks.
