Due to a faulty Microsoft update, there is currently a possibility that devices running Windows Server 2019 and 2022 may be unintentionally updated to Windows Server 2025 under certain circumstances. In addition to the technical problems such an upgrade causes, users may also fall into a licensing trap, as they do not possess a license for Windows Server 2025.
To protect you from this unwanted upgrade, we have worked with N-able to block the faulty patch on all devices where it has not yet been installed. Normally, we do not intervene in server updates as part of our patch management, but due to the potential impact, we have made an exception in this case.
Microsoft has begun withdrawing the faulty update for server operating systems. It remains available for workstations under KB5044284.
If you have any questions or concerns, please don't hesitate to contact us. synaxon-services@synaxon.de or +49 5207 9299 365
