Microsoft has addressed a known issue breaking provisioning on Windows 11 22H2 systems and leaving enterprise endpoints partially configured and failing to finish installing.
The issue was first acknowledged in October 2022 when Redmond said using provisioning packages after installing the Windows 11 2022 Update might not work as expected, failing with 0x800700b7 errors.
Windows systems used in home or small office networks and devices provisioned using Windows Autopilot are not impacted by this known issue.
Redmond suggests provisioning end-user devices before the Windows 11 22H2 upgrade to get around the provisioning issues.
"If you can provision the Windows device before upgrading to Windows 11, version 22H2, this will prevent the issue," Microsoft said.
In November, an emergency out-of-band update was issued to fix domain controller sign-in failures and other authentication problems, and one month later, Microsoft fixed an LSASS memory leak issue leading to freezes and restarts on some domain controllers after installing the November Windows Server updates.
