Translation of the error message: "The trust relationship between this workstation and the primary domain failed"

Workaround
downgrading to version 5.3.1 works

Just noticed it today.
The problem is that usergroups in another language are also different.
In your case, "Administrators" would need to be "Administratoren".(because of german language)
But I have no clue if there is a way to get the group name of the admin-group automatically.

I fixed it: #478

FWIW the fix in #478 works for me.

#478 works for me as well. Thank you!!
