I have been using a Win 8 Hyper V VM with snapshots to test some applications I am writing in fresh environments (to ensure that it works in a non dev environment,etc)

The way I use it is that I create a snapshot after a fresh install, install my application, test and then revert to the snapshot I had created.

This works fine, except that after a few weeks, I get an error message related to "trust relationship between workstation and primary domain failed"

Is there a way to prevent this issue? (other than updating the clean snapshot every few days)?

Your only options are to change the default machine password age for computers in AD, or create an exception for that VM, which isn't really recommended security-wise.

Or you can dis-join and re-join the domain every time you revert your snapshot.

  • dis joining and rejoining when the trust fails should be good enough right? (I revert 2-3 times a day)

  • If you dis-join and re-join it will be fine for that session. If you revert back to the old snapshot, you're going to be off again, unless you create a new snapshot after you dis-join and re-join.
