How to Fix: the trust relationship between this workstation and the primary domain failed

Accordion runbook sections

  1. 1

    Confirm scope, user impact, and reproduction

    Info
    v

    Document whether the issue affects one user, multiple users, or multiple devices. Confirm exact error messages, recent changes (password reset, update, network change), and whether the same issue reproduces in web vs desktop workflows where applicable.

  2. 2

    Validate prerequisites and application/session state

    Info
    v

    Confirm the user is signed in with the correct corporate account, system time is accurate, network/VPN connectivity is stable, and the application is not running in offline or limited mode.

  3. 3

    Run safe diagnostics from the Commands section

    Command
    v

    Use the command snippets below to collect non-destructive diagnostics. Capture output in the ticket when escalation may be required. Avoid deleting profiles, cached credentials, or managed app data unless the runbook or admin approval explicitly allows it.

  4. 4

    Apply safe remediation steps

    Info
    v
    • Use Canix to build the transfer accurately, then register and print the manifest in Metrc before the shipment leaves.
    • Confirm the receiving facility completes the Metrc accept/receive step before assuming inventory should be editable downstream.
    • Refresh Canix only after the Metrc workflow is complete and compare package history in both systems.
    • Keep a signed manifest with the shipment and retain the final PDF or print copy with the transaction record.
  5. 5

    Escalate when access, policy, or security controls are involved

    WarningAdmin required
    v
    • Product is physically moving or already arrived without a completed digital transfer workflow.
    • The sender and receiver disagree about transfer state or package ownership.
    • Compliance must determine whether to hold, return, or re-stage inventory.

Commands

Copyable diagnostic or remediation commands (1 snippet).

Capture transfer evidence

CLI • Admin required

# Sending facility / receiving facility:
# Transfer ID:
# Manifest generated in Metrc? (yes/no)
# Manifest signed / retained? (yes/no)
# Receiving user and receive status in Metrc:
# Screenshot Canix transfer page and Metrc transfer status.

When to Contact IT / Security

  • Product is physically moving or already arrived without a completed digital transfer workflow.
  • The sender and receiver disagree about transfer state or package ownership.
