DescriptionSingle Sign-On request for Domain\User failed - failed to communicate with the host account cache for host domain Host Security Domain
Event Information"According to Microsoft:
CAUSE:

The Host Account Cache database uses a log shipping mechanism for database synchronization. When the master Host Account Cache database is updated, the log shipping mechanism sends a message to the backup Host Account Cache databases. The message indicates that an update is available. The backup Host Account Cache databases connect to the master Host Account Cache database to copy the latest transaction log that contains the updates. After the backup Host Account Cache database successfully copies the transaction log, the transaction log is imported to update the local database. While the transaction log is being imported, the backup Host Account Cache database cannot perform SSO account lookups. If a backup Host Account Cache database receives an SSO account lookup request while the transaction log update is being performed, an error message is returned to the application that is requesting the SSO account lookup, and the account lookup is not successful.
