Summary: Microsoft has notified IT administrators about a critical issue affecting Windows Server 2025 domain controllers, which may become inaccessible after a restart. This problem arises when the servers incorrectly load the standard firewall profile instead of the domain firewall profile, leading to potential failures in services and applications. A workaround involving manual network adapter restarts and scheduled tasks is recommended while a permanent fix is in development.
Affected: Windows Server 2025 domain controllers
Keypoints :
- Domain controllers might not manage network traffic correctly after a restart.
- This issue can cause applications and services to fail or become unreachable on the network.
- A workaround includes manually restarting the network adapter using PowerShell; a scheduled task is recommended for automation after reboots.
- A permanent fix is being developed and will be released in a future update.
