What is the error message when a disable computer tries to log in?

By

In our test environment, we determined that the user was able to log on and access network recourses. We discovered that the computer was not able to authenticate itself and therefore was not able to take advantage of active directory. For example, we were not able to to update the computer portion of group policy

Another problem is that if the user did not have a cached profile on the client, the user will recieve the following error at login:

The trust relationship between this workstation and the primary domain failed.

Once logged in with a user account that had cached credentials (or a local account) an examination of the System log revealed

Level: Error
