Issue details
December 2022
Database connections using Microsoft ODBC SQL Server driver might fail.

After installing KB5020009, apps which use ODBC connections utilizing the Microsoft ODBC SQL Server Driver (sqlsrv32.dll) to access databases might fail to connect. You might receive an error within the app or you might receive an error from SQL Server, such as "The EMS System encountered a problem" with "Message: [Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver] Protocol error in TDS Stream" or "Message: [Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver]Unknown token received from SQL Server". Note for developers: Apps affected by this issue might fail to fetch data, for example when using the SQLFetch function. This issue might occur when calling SQLBindCol function before SQLFetch or calling SQLGetData function after SQLFetch and when a value of 0 (zero) is given for the ‘BufferLength’ argument for fixed datatypes larger than 4 bytes (such as SQL_C_FLOAT).
If you are unsure if you are using any affected apps, open any apps which use a database and then open Command Prompt (select Start then type command prompt and select it) and type the following command:
tasklist /m sqlsrv32.dll
Workaround: To mitigate this issue, you can do one of the following:
- If your app is already using or able to use Data Source Name (DSN) to select ODBC connections, install Microsoft ODBC Driver 17 for SQL Server and select it for use with your app using DSN. Note: We recommend the latest version of Microsoft ODBC Driver 17 for SQL Server, as it is more compatible with apps currently using the legacy Microsoft ODBC SQL Server Driver (sqlsrv32.dll) than Microsoft ODBC Driver 18 for SQL Server.
- If your app is unable to use DSN, the app will need to be modified to allow for DSN or to use a newer ODBC driver than Microsoft ODBC SQL Server Driver (sqlsrv32.dll).
Resolution: This issue was resolved in KB5022348. If you have implemented the above workaround, it is recommended to continue using the configuration in the workaround.
Affected platforms:
- Client: Windows 11, version 22H2; Windows 10, version 22H2; Windows 11, version 21H2; Windows 10, version 21H2; Windows 10, version 21H1; Windows 10, version 20H2; Windows 10 Enterprise LTSC 2019; Windows 10 Enterprise LTSC 2016; Windows 10 Enterprise 2015 LTSB; Windows 8.1; Windows 7 SP1

Domain join processes may fail with error "0xaac (2732)"
| Status | Originating update | History | Confirmed | KB5018457 2022-10-11 | Last updated: 2022-10-27, 16:57 PT Opened: 2022-10-27, 15:53 PT |

Domain join operations might intentionally fail with error "0xaac (2732): NERR_AccountReuseBlockedByPolicy" and text "An account with the same name exists in Active Directory. Re-using the account was blocked by security policy."
This issue originates with the October 2022 security updates ( KB5018457) which introduced some hardening changes enabled by default for domain join. Please see KB5020276 - Netjoin: Domain join hardening changes to understand the new designed behavior.
Affected scenarios include some domain join or re-imaging operations where a computer account was created or pre-staged by a different identity than the identity used to join or re-join the computer to the domain.
Home users of Windows are unlikely to experience this issue.
Next steps: Please see KB5020276 to understand the designed behavior. We have added insights to this KB, and are evaluating whether optimizations can be made in a future Windows Update. This guidance will be updated once those changes have released.
Affected platforms:
- Client: Windows 11, version 22H2; Windows 10, version 22H2; Windows 11, version 21H2; Windows 10, version 21H2; Windows 10, version 21H1; Windows 10, version 20H2; Windows 10, version 1809; Windows 10 Enterprise LTSC 2019; Windows 10 Enterprise LTSC 2016; Windows 10, version 1607; Windows 10 Enterprise 2015 LTSB; Windows 8.1; Windows 7 SP1

When attempting to install KB5012170, it might fail to install, and you might receive an error 0x800f0922.
Note: This issue only affects the Security update for Secure Boot DBX ( KB5012170) and does not affect the latest cumulative security updates, monthly rollups, or security only updates.
Workaround: This issue can be mitigated on some devices by updating the UEFI bios to the latest version before attempting to install KB5012170.
Next steps: We are presently investigating and will provide an update in an upcoming release.

Certain apps or devices might be unable to create Netlogon secure channel connections
| Status | Originating update | History | Investigating | KB5009586 2022-01-11 | Last updated: 2022-02-24, 17:41 PT Opened: 2022-02-24, 17:25 PT |

After installing KB5009586 or any updates released January 11, 2022 and later on your domain controllers, scenarios which rely on Read-only domain controllers (RODCs) or synthetic RODC machine accounts might fail to establish a Netlogon secure channel. RODC accounts must have a linked and compliant KRBTGT account to successfully establish a secure channel. Affected applications or network appliances, such as Riverbed SteelHead WAN Optimizers, might have issues joining domains or limitations after joining a domain.
Next Steps: Affected apps and network appliances will need an update from their developer or manufacturer to resolve this issue. Microsoft and Riverbed are presently investigating and will provide an update when more information is available.
Affected platforms:
- Server: Windows Server 2022; Windows Server 2019; Windows Server 2016; Windows Server 2012 R2; Windows Server 2012; Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1; Windows Server 2008 SP2
Apps that acquire or set Active Directory Forest Trust Information might have issues
| Status | Originating update | History | Mitigated | KB5009586 2022-01-11 | Last updated: 2022-02-07, 15:36 PT Opened: 2022-02-04, 16:57 PT |

After installing updates released January 11, 2022 or later, apps using Microsoft .NET Framework to acquire or set Active Directory Forest Trust Information might fail, close, or you might receive an error from the app or Windows. You might also receive an access violation (0xc0000005) error. Note for developers: Affected apps use the System.DirectoryServices API.
Next Steps: This issue was resolved in the out-of-band update for the version of .NET Framework used by the app. Note: These out-of-band updates are not available from Windows Update and will not install automatically. To get the standalone package, search for the KB number for your version of Windows and .NET Framework in the Microsoft Update Catalog. You can manually import these updates into Windows Server Update Services (WSUS) and Microsoft Endpoint Configuration Manager. For WSUS instructions, see WSUS and the Catalog Site. For Configuration Manger instructions, see Import updates from the Microsoft Update Catalog.

Certain operations, such as rename, that you perform on files or folders that are on a Cluster Shared Volume (CSV) may fail with the error, “STATUS_BAD_IMPERSONATION_LEVEL (0xC00000A5)”. This occurs when you perform the operation on a CSV owner node from a process that doesn’t have administrator privilege.
Affected platforms:
- Client: Windows 8.1; Windows 7 SP1
- Server: Windows Server 2012 R2; Windows Server 2012; Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1; Windows Server 2008 SP2
Workaround: Do one of the following:
- Perform the operation from a process that has administrator privilege.
- Perform the operation from a node that doesn’t have CSV ownership.
Next steps: Microsoft is working on a resolution and will provide an update in an upcoming release.
