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
    • Confirm the package is a finished retail good and not an intermediate or internal-movement package.
    • Work with the upstream licensed party responsible for the inventory state to create or attach the correct Retail Item IDs before the transfer.
    • Pause downstream movement until the package data supports compliant receipt and sale.
    • If old stock is involved, document the business decision on relabeling, return, or controlled sell-through with compliance leadership.
  5. 5

    Escalate when access, policy, or security controls are involved

    WarningAdmin required
    v
    • Multiple active SKUs are blocked or a planned dispensary shipment cannot leave.
    • Inventory may need relabeling, return, or another formal compliance decision.
    • The sender and receiver disagree over which party owns the correction.
