Why does a Trust Relationship Broken Error Occur?
This is the kind of issue that can often be seen when login is attempted through Remote Desktop Protocol or directly from the console. Such errors can be seen when a machine tries to communicate with the Active Directory domain but no longer has access to it.
The secure channel between Workstation and Active Directory gets broken, where the computer cannot get any access to networks due to offline mode. The user cannot log in even with his authentic domain credentials and cannot access shared folders. Such errors occur when the password you entered does not align with the password stored in the domain controller or if there is any issue with DNS configuration.
