Windows VPN, Server Domain, and more getting fixed
spoke with an IT Admin for a university, who was able to confirm they, too, had to roll back last Tuesday’s update because external ReFS drives had become incompatible — with no warning from Microsoft. Microsoft’s documents state that ReFS should only be used on fixed drives, so this department had to migrate data before running the updates again.
Should the ReFS issue have not been addressed any sooner by Microsoft, they might have believed the drives were faulty, then tried reformatting to NTFS and losing the data . This OOB update is available to IT admins with access to Microsoft’s update catalog and can be loaded into Windows Server Update Services — but does not, as of yet, appear in the WSUS catalog, leaving Admins forced to manually download and load it.
An individual by the name of syshum on the sysadmin subreddit jokes: “To Microsoft the question is Why are you still using DomainControllers. You should be using Azure AD only.” There are reasons why many might believe there’s an uneven allocation of resources — subscription cloud services like Azure contribute more to the company’s constant revenue flow than a long-term supported Active Directory solution on-premises.
Thankfully, support for on-premise solutions isn’t gone yet. Cliff Fisher, Microsoft’s product manager for Active Directory, addressed the problems of patching the older Server 2012 R2, which erroneously reboots too fast to take the whole cumulative patch:There are two types of updates on OSes on the older servicing stack - a Monthly Rollup and a Security-Only .Some of these fixes are available now for Windows 11 and Windows 10 as an optional update if you go to Windows Update on your computer.
