If you get the error message “The trust relationship between this workstation and the primary domain failed”, here is how you can fix it.
Open a PowerShell as Administrator and enter the following commands:
Test-ComputerSecureChannel
This will show true or false. If it shows false, enter the following commands (replace domain.lan with your domain name, adminaccount with your administrator username, and domainserver with the name of your domainserver)
$credential = Get-Credential domain.lan\adminaccount
Reset-ComputerMachinePassword -server domainserver
-credential $credential
This should fix the problem without having to leave and rejoin the domain.
Zentyal is a great replacement for Windows domains, but in the webinterface there is currently (version 6) no option to change the password expiry settings.
To change them anyway, open a linux terminal on the Zentyal server and use the samba-tool utility
samba-tool domain passwordsettings set --max-pwd-age=0
This will turn off password aging. Change the 0 to the number of days you want to set it to expire to anything else than the default 365 days. Have look at the help page or manpage for samba-tool to see more options. If the command executes successfully, you will see the following text:
Maximum password age changed!
All changes applied successfully!
and you are done!
