October 26, 2021 non-security update (KB5006745) and KIR on standalone machines

Hi there,

You can also force KIR by using group policy.

For non-enterprise customers, the Windows Update process applies the KIR automatically. No user action is required.

For enterprise customers, Microsoft provides a policy definition MSI file. Enterprise customers can propagate the KIR to managed systems by using the enterprise Group Policy infrastructure.

A KIR policy definition has a limited lifespan (a few months, at most). After Microsoft publishes an amended update to address the original issue, the KIR is no longer necessary. The policy definition can then be removed from the Group Policy infrastructure.

Thank you for your reply. That was my understanding of how the KIR processed worked. Unfortunately on our individual machines our RDP access is still broken. So I am not sure if the KIR fix was implemented or was implemented but is not working. Is there a way to verify our individual machines received the KIR fix? Or to find out what was included in the KIR to attempt a fix ourselves?

So far the November 2021 patches have not corrected our situation.

Thank you

Appears that the December's MS security patches have resolved my issue. Service Stack 10.0.1904.1371 and KB5008212 were installed the other day. Today I can RDP using PIV-I again.
