Kerberos Authentication Problems After Last Week’s Microsoft Patch Tuesday

Microsoft has acknowledged that updates released last week might cause problems with Kerberos authentication on Windows Servers with the Domain Controller role.

This is an unintended consequence of domain hardening actions, which are desirable, taken as part of the update.

Lots of variability here; keep an eye on MS for a revised patch.
