• June releases bring dribbles

    June updates are out and Microsoft is once again dribbling out changes.  I’ve detailed many of the expected changes here. Meanwhile Apple announced Private Cloud Compute at the same time jumping on the AI bandwagon. Apple will be releasing their software later on this year.

    In the meantime here is what is on deck from Microsoft:

    KB5039211 for Windows 10 22H2 – adds new snipping tool feature.

    KB5039212 for Windows 11 23H2 – fixes an issue introduced in the preview update that caused a glitchy taskbar

    Dustin Childs breaks down the vulnerabilities here.

    Side effects:

    If you use authlite to provide two factor for active directory:

    The just-released 2024-06 Cumulative Update will make Domain Controllers stop calling the AuthLite module, thus breaking the authentication of all AuthLite Users. Please hold off installing this update, or log in with a 1-factor break-glass/emergency account to roll it back.  We are urgently investigating what this update has changed to cause the issue, and so far suspect it is probably a mistake .  See the knowledge base section of our site for more information as we learn more.

    Affected OS and KBs:

    • Server 2022 (KB5039227) domain controllers only
    • Server 2019 (KB5039217) domain controllers only
    • Server 2016 (KB5039214) we are not sure yet if 2016 DCs are affected, but please assume so and hold off the update.

    Update to a new version to fix the issue
