Hello, We have had this issue since deploying Server 2008 on our DC's, and Deploying Windows 7 on our clients. It started off, when the user would hold the power button down and improperly shut off the client; then upon reboot startup repair would launch and ask the user if they would like to restore (They always click yes) then the client would be restored to the first time I installed windows when creating the base image. I have since disabled Startup Repair via a registry edit in Group Policy. However, somehow I am still receiving support calls that the trust relationship had been broken ect..ect.. or they simply get an Administrator login. When I login as local admin on the one that says the trust relationship has been broken, it still shows that it is joined to the domain; however the one that simply gives an administrator login shows it belongs to a workgroup. I can't seem to find an reason why this is happening, and how to solve it. Does anyone have an idea why this happens?

Please see the answer of this thread. The trust relationship between this workstation and the primary domain failed. The reason should be: 1. Computers are security principals just like users 2. Computers authenticate to the domain on startup 3. Computers change their password every 30 days by default 4. Restore Points restore the computer password present at the time of the restore point 5. If the local password and the domain password are not the same the computer must re-join the domain 6. None of these things seem to be the issue here.

No, And I don't think that a vista fix has anything to do with my issue. I'll wait to hear from tech support on this. I just opened up a ticket on this.

Hello Jeff, Were you able to resolve this issue? The same thing is happening to computers in my domain.

ryanez, Yes we did resolve this issue after working with M$ tech support. You need to run this command on the computers in your domain: C:\Windows\System32\REAgentc.exe /disable This will totally disable the startup repair, and prevent users from using system restore. I wrote a .vbs script to run the command, and then output the computer names that it ran on to an excel file, so I knew what computers the script had run on. Hope this helps, Jeff

Hi Jeff Thanks for updating your post with the fix, it's something we have recently bumped into, will package up that and deploy today. David.

We also came across this. Do you have your VBS script, not a scipter :-) Please and thanks Derek
