"Security Database does not have a computer account for this workstation" - does a computer account in active directory ever expire?

hi folks,

1 of experts can shine light on topic. work support in large company doing i.t. (has multiple departments).

have had more few incidents the user tries login in computer , receive following message: "security database not have computer account workstation"

turns out found computer account in 'inactive>disabled' ou folder in active directory.

our server intel team may have done cleanup , informed of following: "machines have not talked domain in last 30 days have invalid trust password , need rejoined domain." 

'thought' computer account never expired or become inactive - meaning if user out in field months, never on network , 1 day came still on domain?

can inform me if above statement true? point me related microsoft article.
