SYMPTOMS

Event Type: Warning

Event Source: W32time

Event Category: None

Event ID: 56

Date:

Time:

User: N/A

Computer:

Description:

The Domain Controller  in   returned an incorrectly signed time stamp. If this DC is from the machine's parent domain, then the trust link between the domains may be broken and must be fixed. If the DC is from this machine's own domain, then the machine password for this machine is incorrect and should be corrected.



CAUSE
This behavior can occur if a client computer in the trusting domain performs a secure time synchronization with a domain controller (DC) in the trusted domain by using an expired trust password.
