Hello everyone,

I've been having this "almost random" error on a newly created test environement ( 3 servers : AD, SQL, and SP)

I can't create a site collection from the Central Admin, even with PowerShell, it does not work, I get the same error : User can not be found !
From the CA, the people picker of the primary site collection admin does not even resolve the user ! The fun fact is that after I reboot the SP Server, I can actually create a site collection, but only once ! After some minutes, if I try to create another site collection, it gives the error already mentionned ! This is driving me crazy ...

Further debugging, ULS logs show : Unable to reach catalog ...

If I go to security -> Manage service accounts, I get an error page with the famous error "the trust relationship between this workstation and the primary domain failed"

Again, after I tried many many solutions from the net, I give up and reboot the box, and this gets it done, but only for some minutes.

I know that this is happening for a reason, but I can't find why, and this is driving me crazy!

Any help would be much appreciated .

Can you run:

Set-SPLogLevel -TraceSeverity VerboseEx

Repeat the issue through *PowerShell*, run Clear-SPLogLevel, then capture the ULS logs and provide more detail here?
