So...Win 7 has nltest built-in, right? You may want to try a "nltest /sc_change_pwd:<domain>" every week or so while you are VPN'ed in.
I'm guessing the computer account password is expiring. I not sure if sc_change_pwd causes that to re-handshake or not, but it's my best guess. BDesmond or BFree might have better suggestions on that... From: Steven M.

It may not be on the actual LAN the DC's are on for weeks at a time. With my XP laptop, this was never a problem. Now with my Win7 laptop I find that after a few weeks and I bring it home and pop it on the local LAN, I get a "The trust relationship between this workstation and the domain has failed.". If I disable the NIC the logon using cached credentials will succeed, and then I can re-enable the NIC. I've seen a number of articles that outline this as a problem with Vista/Win7, and recommend a domain leave/join. It appears that just postpones the issue. Anybody else seeing this, or know of a real fix? -sc ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~
