KB5009624 for Windows Server 2012 R2 Has Been Launched!

Windows 8.1 and Windows Server 2012 R2 have ended mainstream support and are now in extended support. Starting in July 2020, there will no longer be an optional non-secure version (known as the “C” version) of this operating system. Extended supported operating systems only have cumulative monthly security updates (called “B” or Update Tuesday releases).

The monthly rollup update for Windows 2012 Server R2 has been released. The KB5009624 monthly rollup contains security updates that address security vulnerabilities. However, the KB5009624 update caused some issues when installing. System administrators report the following issues on Windows Server 2012 R2:

• LDAP bind might fail on Windows Server 2012 R2.
• There is a problem with the ReFS volume or drive. Internal and external ReFS volumes may become RAW after installing the KB5009624 Monthly Rollup Security Update.
• Boot loop on Windows Server 2012 R2 after installing update KB5009624. The server is stuck in an infinite loop and cannot get past the restart loop.
• VPN connections through Windows Server 2012 R2 may fail. VPN issues can affect PPTP or L2TP VPN endpoints on the server.
• Hyper VM V is known to be affected on some servers. This can lead to virtual machine failures and hypervisor outages.
