I have gotten this error multiple times and finally found the fix. I always get it when I have a new server up on the network and try to connect back to it from SSMS on another machine. I can't tell you exactly what causes it, since I don't get it consistently across machines. The quick answer is: Change the account that SQL Server itself runs under to LocalSystem.
The complete answer (including how to fix the domain account that the service runs under) can be found here.

I found that the incorrect date and time on a client which differs from a domain controller can also cause "Cannot Generate SSPI Context" failures.
