We recently encountered this issue on a remote Windows system connected to AD via VPN. There are two ways to fix it. The simplest is to simply remove/rejoin the computer to the domain.
The other less intrusive way is as follows:
- Download PsExec (part of sysinternals) from https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/downloads/psexec
- From an elevated command prompt run PsExec.exe -i -s cmd.exe(This will open another command window in the Local Machine account context).
- From that window, run rundll32.exe keymgr.dll, KRShowKeyMgr(That will open a gui with a list of cached credentials).
- In that gui, delete any credentials that match your PDC.
- Logoff and log back in, run gpupdate.exe and it should immediately start working.
