ERROR_DOMAIN_TRUST_INCONSISTENT - 1810 (0x712)
The name or security ID (SID) of the domain specified is inconsistent with the trust information for that domain.
Updated: Feb 21, 2026
Technical Background
This error code is indicative of a security-related issue in the Windows operating system. It typically arises when there is a mismatch between the domain name or Security Identifier (SID) specified and the trust information associated with that domain.
Error Details
The ERROR_DOMAIN_TRUST_INCONSISTENT error occurs when an operation involving domain trust relationships encounters a discrepancy. This can happen during various security-related operations, such as authentication, authorization, or trust validation processes.
Common Causes
- Incorrect Domain Name or SID: The specified domain name or SID does not match the expected value in the system's trust information.
- Corrupted Trust Information: The trust information stored in the system is inconsistent or corrupted, leading to a mismatch during operations.
- Misconfigured Trust Relationships: Incorrectly configured trust relationships between domains can result in this error.
Real-World Context
This error typically manifests when attempting to establish or validate trust relationships between different domains. It may occur during domain join operations, Kerberos authentication, or other security-related tasks that involve verifying the integrity of trust information.
Is This Error Critical?
The criticality of this error depends on the specific context in which it occurs. In general, it indicates a potential security issue and should be investigated to ensure the integrity of the domain trust relationships.
How to Diagnose
- Review Operation Context: Verify the domain name or SID specified during the operation against the expected values.
- Validate Parameters: Ensure that all parameters passed to the operation are correct and consistent with the expected values.
- Confirm Object Types: Confirm that the objects involved in the trust relationship are of the correct type (e.g., domain, forest).
- Verify Input Data: Check for any corrupted or inconsistent data that might be causing the mismatch.
- Check Limits or Constraints: Ensure that no system limits or constraints have been exceeded.
How to Resolve
- Correct Parameter Usage: Ensure that all parameters are correctly specified and consistent with the expected values.
- Adjust Operation Context: If the operation context is incorrect, adjust it to match the expected configuration.
- Restore Data: If corrupted data is suspected, restore or correct the trust information.
- Retry Operation with Valid Inputs: Attempt the operation again using valid and consistent inputs.
Developer Notes
When encountering this error, developers should ensure that all domain-related operations are performed with accurate and up-to-date trust information. Regularly updating and verifying trust relationships can help prevent such errors from occurring.
