Oh, Microsoft! Just when you thought it was safe to reboot, here comes the ‘Firewall Fiasco of 2025.’ Who knew that a domain controller could have such a flair for the dramatic? With a quick fix and some PowerShell magic, we’re back to dodging cyber bullets. Move over, Shakespeare, there’s a new tragedy in town!

  • Windows Server 2025 domain controllers had a bug affecting network traffic management post-reboot.
  • Servers loaded the wrong firewall profile, causing service failures and connectivity issues.
  • Microsoft resolved the issue with the KB5060842 update during June 2025 Patch Tuesday.
  • A temporary workaround involves using the Restart-NetAdapter PowerShell command.
  • Additional fixes addressed login issues with Windows Hello post-April 2025 updates.
