Windows update locks some workers out of domain accounts
Daily Cyber News: Windows update locks some workers out of domain accounts
Some Windows 11 users are being locked out of their domain accounts even though their credentials are still valid. Microsoft is investigating reports that update KB5124008 can break the secure channel between certain enterprise computers and Active Directory after the devices restart. Administrators have linked the failures to Machine Identity Isolation settings, but Microsoft hasn’t confirmed the cause or published an official workaround.
Key context: For affected organizations, the result can be failed logins, rising helpdesk demand, and hands-on recovery across managed fleets.
