Microsoft says it has fixed a known issue triggered by last month's Windows updates that would cause apps using Microsoft.
"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," Microsoft explained in an update to the Windows health dashboard.
NET Framework out of band updates available for systems running Windows Server 2022, Windows Server 2019, and Windows Server 2016.
The OOB updates are not delivered and installed automatically via Windows Updates, therefore admins will have to search for and install them through the Microsoft Update Catalog.
Last month, Microsoft released another series of OOB updates to address multiple issues caused by the January 2022 Patch Tuesday updates.
The issues fixed in those emergency updates were related to Windows Server Domain Controllers restarting, VPN connectivity, Virtual Machines failing to start, and ReFS-formatted removable media mount failures.
