    I'd check the health of domain controllers and that replication status is good between them.

    anonymous user very often it happening when you had machine joined to AD DS and then for some reason you rejoin that machine. The registry can be confused. Try to use 'dsa.msc' (Active Directory Users And Computers Management Pane) then go for OU\Computers then go to a specific machine and Reset machine account. If should fix the problem. Often I simply unregister machine, clear all information about it in AD DS, and rejoin again. But this is rather harsh, as you will lose SID of the machine.

    But a permanent solution could not work all the time. Those things happening from time to time in Active Directory.

    There is a similar thread on this forum https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/answers/questions/108461/server-2016-datacenter-34the-trust-relationship-be.html You can follow it as well.

    Hi,
    I would suggest you check if all the DCs are working well .
    Also, please check if the time sync is good.
    Clear all the DNS records for the removed clients.
    Make sure the network is connected to the DC.
    Best Regards,

    Clear the duplicate entry from DNS records. if there are any.

    Also check DNS record with host name and IP address is matching with your ENDPOINT

    if there are any firewall ( windows or antivirus) disable the firewall.
    Check all necessary port is reachable
