When you try to log-on or connect to a computer and you receive an error stating: "the trust relationship between this workstation and the primary domain failed", this is not the end of the world. The steps are to remove the workstation from the domain by accessing it with a local administrator account and then rejoining it to the domain.

Step by step:
* Log-on on locally to the workstation with a local administrator account.
* Right click "My Computer" and select properties
* XP: Select the tab Computer name
VISTA / Windows 7: Select change settings next to the computer name
* Click on Change
* Change the Member of selection to WorkGroup and enter anything you like (eg. Batman)
* Click OK
* in the The computer must restart prompt click OK
* back in the computer name tab click on change again
* Change the Member of selection to domain and enter the domain name
* Click OK
* enter the credentials of the users which is permitted to join the computer to the domain
* in the The computer must restart prompt click OK
* back in the computer name tab click OK
* on the restart computer prompt click restart now.

When the computer is restarted the problem is gone (for now)
