    We experienced a similar issue today where the user would receive an error: "Cannot Generate SSPI Context". On the server side, the error generated was: SSPI handshake failed with error code 0x8009030c while establishing a connection with integrated security; the connection has been closed.

    The cause of this was the password had expired for the the user that was trying to access the SQL Server. Once she changed her password she was able to connect to remote instances of SQL Server again with her windows account.
