Dear everyone,

to fix the recently announced Microsoft Vulnerability: CVE-2021-42287 & CVE-2021-42278 on our still existing Windows Server 2008 R2 DCs, we tried to install the required updates but failed with the mentioned error msg about installing a required Windows Module Installer first. But following the link, this is not available anymore with MSFT.

Is there any known way to get it or avoid it to install the fixes for the Vulnerabilities?

Thanks!
