Today (1/22 PST), Microsoft released two preview udpates for RS5 - KB4476976 and KB4481031. Thease updates are D release. But Preview of Cumulative Update for .NET Framework (KB4481031) was automatically installed to some Windows 10 ver 1809 and Windows Server 2019. This behavior is not assumed. I did not click "Check for updates". KB4481031 says

"Install this update
To download and install this update, go to Settings > Update & Security > Windows Update and select Check for updates.
This update will be downloaded and installed automatically from Windows Update. To get the standalone package for this update, go to the Microsoft Update Catalog website." (https://support.microsoft.com/ja-jp/help/4481031/)

Server Core's sconfig also detect KB4481031. (not detect 4476976)

The previous Preview CU for .Net Frameworks (KB4469041) was also the same behavior.

Hello,

I want to report one issue that is easy to reproduce, it occurs with any rdp client that connects to Windows10 Pro with enabled RDP connections, actually used mstsc.exe to connect from one Windows10 pro machine to another Windows10 pro machine with enabled RDP.

After ~100 tries to restore interrupted connection the server refuses future rdp connection tries with internal error occurred message reported by mstsc.exe.

It doesn't matter if you have logged off the session during running, as example did 20 connection restorings then logged off, logged in and did next 80 connection restorings, that was only example, only what matters is that you have only to restore any interrupted session at least ~100 times to send server to nirvana. As example after WiFi lost connection or during any network problem that requires rdp connection restoring. Only what helps to restore functionality is to restart remote desktop service in services.msc

I highly assume by restoring connection with reconnection cookie the bug counter counts up and by reaching 100 (the counter seems to be not reset by any action) so finally it completely stops to accept any future connections with internal error occurred message.

Such error doesn't exist on Windows2016 but Windows10 pro is affected.

More over few months ago this bug didn't exist on Windows10 too.

Please forward this issue to your RDP server developers, thank you!

Sincerely yours.

Hi there in Redmond,

the (not so much) new Server-Manager is quite an improvement for the daily work. Especially the feature to simple connect to some users RDP-Session and help him or her out with something is very nice...

But if you see the context menu, that what you get right clicking to ones users session, you see the following four items: disconnect, send message shadow and log out. Not to much often but still once a month or so it can happen that you click the mouse and without your intention your cursor glitched down a few pixels and sign out is selected instead of shadow.

So the end result is the user just gets force signed out, which is quite embarrassing...

So it would be a real grate help (and sure not much of programming work) for all who are using the network manager for this kind of work on a regular base to build in a simple "are your sure" dialog for the confirmation of the logout option, and the disconnect option.

Thanks a lot in advance and keep up the good work

The JET database format is old, non-resilient, suffers from bloating problems due to an inability to automatically reclaim space and requires the CA database to be stored on a 'local' disk. In addition, it only allows flat file backup and does not support 'replay' or other recovery features.

It's high time ADCS was bought kicking and screaming into the 21st Century by allowing at least MS SQL to be used as a proper backend relational database. This would then allow proper resiliency to be built into the database, recovery using transaction logs (potentially no more lost, unmanageable certificates due to recovery of a 'point in time' restore) etc.

Are there any other Microsoft products *still* using JET except ADCS?!?

I feel there should be an option in WSUS that allows you to create a rule that automatically approves unapproved, needed updates. As it stands, a lot of products can be installed on many machines on a network. Selecting all products and categories in WSUS consumes a LOT of disk space when automatic approval is enabled. By being able to create a rule that automatically approves unapproved, needed updates, we will be able to keep disk consumption to a minimum, ensure all Microsoft products on the network are patched appropriately, help prevent WSUS database problems when trying to perform cleanups due to clutter and keep IT administration down to a minimum which not only saves us time but also money.

I understand this functionality is available through third party scripting but this is something I really want to avoid if possible.
