The security database on the server does not have a computer account for this workstation trust
Problem:
After joining a windows 2008 server to the domain you can not log in and it gives you the error:
The security database on the server does not have a computer account for this workstation trust
I’ve seen this on mostly 2008 Servers in my environment.
Resolution
Open ADSI Edit
2. Expand your domain
3. Expand the DC=<yourdomain>,DC=com
4. Expand CN=Computers
5. Find the computer name in question and right click and select Properties
6. Under the Attribute Editor find SERVICEPRINCIOLENAME
7. Click Edit
8. You should at a MINIMUM the following (you might have many others as well, but these
two entries HAVE to be present to log into the domain)
a. HOST/<servername>
b. HOST/<servername.domainmame.com>
9. Click OK and then OK again
10. Close ADSI Edit and reboot the server having the problems logging into the domain.

I believe that could work as well.. if that is eaiser for you go ahead and unjoin and rejoin to the domain.. and reboot twice. or just edit the AD object and login.
