Re-join a computer to the domain
When a computer loses its domain membership you can now use powershell to reset computer connection.
Log in with a local account to the computer getting the error message, from a powershell command use this command to check the status of the computer’s domain membership.

Add the -Repair
parameter to reset the secure channel, you’ll need domain creds that have permission to join a computer to the domain.
