Microsoft has released an urgent fix for Windows Server to correct an issue caused by the November 9th Patch Tuesday.

On that day Microsoft released a set of security updates which, when installed on Windows 10 1607 and Windows Server 2019, was causing authentication failures related to Kerberos tickets acquired from Service for User to Self (S4U2self).

The fix corrects the known issue that might cause authentication failures on domain controllers that run Windows Server.

For Windows 10, version 1607, and all editions Windows Server 2016 Microsoft released KB5008601, which, when applied, takes the OS to Build 14393.4771.

That has the following known issue:

Symptom Workaround
After installing this update, Windows print clients might encounter the following errors when connecting to a remote printer shared on a Windows print server:

  • 0x000006e4 (RPC_S_CANNOT_SUPPORT)
  • 0x0000007c (ERROR_INVALID_LEVEL)

  • 0x00000709 (ERROR_INVALID_PRINTER_NAME)

Note The printer connection issues described in this issue are specific to print servers and are not commonly observed in devices designed for home use. Printing environments affected by this issue are more commonly found in enterprises and organizations.

We are presently investigating and will provide an update in an upcoming release.

On that platform, the patch has rather more known issues.
