I thought of that, but this seems to be affecting a specific user account on multiple computers, some of which are new and I know don't have duplicate names. It doesn't seem reasonable t have to change the name on every win 7 computer in the domain.

I had an issue with a PC and it was something like this. Turned out it was a duplicate name. Try changing the name and see what happens. We just changed the problem PC from something like 4097 to 4097A and that did it. >>> "Ralph Smith" <[email protected]> 6/24/2011 9:34 AM >>> Has anyone seen a problem like this and found an explanation / solution? Windows 2008 domain and all Windows XP clients except for five Windows 7 machines. Single forest, single domain - no trusts or child domains. One machine is a laptop we just upgraded to Win 7, and when we went to have the user log on to it she got this error: "The security database on the server does not have a computer account for this workstation trust relationship." The odd thing is that the IT staff and one test account can all log in to the machine with no errors, so it doesn't seem like it's the computer. She has no trouble logging on to any windows XP clients or 2003 terminal servers, so it doesn't seem as though her user account is bad. She gets the same error logging on to all of the other four Win 7 machines, so it seems to be a combination of something with her user account and something about Windows 7. On the laptop we found that if we take it off the domain, reboot, join it to the domain, reboot, the user can log on for a limited time and then the error comes back. Also, per some advice we got from Google Tech Support, on another computer we used Adsiedit to change the dnshost attribute from "win7pc" to "win7pc.domain.com", and added "win7pc.domain.com" to servicePrincipalName. This also was a temporary resolution. We also found that sometimes she can successfully log in if we use the "[email protected]" format, but sometimes that also results in the same error. All the information I have been able to find seems to be related to issues involving trusts between computers in different domains or errors when joining a computer to a domain. But these issues all seem to affect all users logging in to a computer, and don't seem to apply here. Any ideas? I greatly appreciate any insight someone may have.
