This is very probably a Windows issue, '0XC000006D' is
STATUS_LOGON_FAILURE, which is 'The user name or password is
incorrect.', but. as you don't seem to have a SID, might mean your
win11 computer cannot, for some reason, contact the DC, so have you
tried the standard Windows fix ? Also known as turning it off and on
again ;-)

I think you can ignore the 'NT_STATUS_TIME_DIFFERENCE_AT_DC', Samba
seems to return it as an error code as a backstop, try turning up the
loglevel to 2 on the DCs, that should make another error message pop
out.
