A similar issue happens when a laptop (with a bad battery) loses its time and can't connect to 802.1x WPA2 enterprise wifi.
At my high school, we had laptop carts that were notorious for losing their time, and nobody could log in because they were bound to AD over wifi. The system was offline because it would reject the RADIUS certificate of the wifi network due to the time being wrong. We had to manually log in as local admin to change the time or plug them all into ethernet until they could connect to NTP.
