Having an issue here at work with trust relationships failing regularly. I know the quick fix is to remove the PC from the domain and rejoin, but I need to find a permanent fix. Google isn't helping me much. I've even tried setting the machine passwords to never expire in the default policy. (Local computer policy > Windows settings > Security settings > Security Options > Domain member: Max machine account password age).

No deal, I hear about 1 or 2 PCs a day that the trust relationship has failed on. Anyone have an idea what to try, or something to check?
 
Are the computers still in the domain listing if you go look them up? I've only seen this when the DC thinks it is a different computer or it gets removed without leaving the domain.

If you have multiple domain controllers, could it be a syncing issue?
