** 2 Weeks After Patch Tuesday **
Two weeks hence and it looks like we’re in the clear with only some minor oddities listed below! Barely even enough text for a whole post, which is ideal given what’s at stake!
Server 2022
Server 2016
Windows 10
Happy patching 🙂
** 72 Hours After Patch Tuesday **
72-hours in and it’s looking like Dell devices are the “hardest” hit this month, albeit not crazily. A lot of smaller disruptions this month, so let’s dig in!
No disruptions reported or detected on the trackd platform.
For some running Windows Server 2022 and Server 2019 the OpenSSH service won’t start after updating, but a handful of workarounds are available, a couple more issues with Dell devices (Latitude 5430s on Windows 11, OptiPlex Micro 7010s) having no taskbar or start menu, and some Dell laptops being knocked off wifi, but a workaround exists, a few Windows 11 virtual machines on HyperV could no longer use the default network, but a workaround exists, RDP issues compound with Windows Server 2022 RDP connections are failing after long connection attempts, for some Server 2019 and 2022 Bitlocker is getting killed that might be limited to Dell R750s.
Server 2022
- OpenSSH service won’t start after updating (workarounds exist)
- RDP connections failing/timing out after long connection attempts
- Bitlocker getting killed and prompting for recovery key (might be limited to Dell R750s)
Server 2019
