Re: The Security Account Manager failed a KDC request
You need to attempt to restart the Kerberos client pc to check the result. To get more information you need to refer to the below Microsoft TechNet article to solved the case:
Event ID 7 — Security Accounts Manager Availability

If the above doesnt work then check the other article on how to reset the secure channel from this link:

There is also a problem of Low Disk Space if there are any errors caused. There was a guy at our office who complained about not being able to log onto the server. After checking the event logs I noticed that it was filled with these errors. Also after searching a lot for some other failure I also found that the C: Drive in my computer was only having 50mb free storage.
