hi,

most simple resolution unjoin/disjoin computer domain , rejoin computer account domain.

there might multiple reasons kind of behavior. here few of them:

  1. single sid has been assigned multiple computers.
  2. if secure channel broken between domain controller , workstations
  3. if there no spn or dns host name mentioned in computer account attributes
  4. outdated nic drivers.

according description, second 1 may cause of problem.

when computer account joined domain, secure channel password stored computer account in domain controller. default password change every 30 days (this automatic process, no manual intervention required). upon starting computer, netlogon attempts discover dc domain in machine account exists. after locating appropriate dc, machine account password workstation authenticated against password on dc.

if there problems system time, dns configuration or other settings, secure channel’s password between workstation , dcs may not synchronize each other.

a common cause of broken secure channel [machine account password] secure channel password held domain member not match held ad. often, caused performing windows system restore (or reverting previous backup or snapshot) on member machine, causing old (previous) machine account password presented ad.
