To attempt to reset the secure channel on a specific PC.. make sure you have network connectivity to a Domain Controller.

  1. Open PowerShell As Administrator

    Test-ComputerSecureChannel -Verbose

    If False then run:

    Test-ComputerSecureChannel -Repair -Server PDCEmulatorName -Verbose

    If repaired you will see message, if it fails then try adding a credential

    Test-ComputerSecureChannel -Repair -Server PDCEmulatorName -Credential Domain\UserName -Verbose
