Summary

Hide ▲

A Windows Server 2025 known issue is disrupting Active Directory Domain Services (AD DS) synchronization, causing incomplete sync for large AD security groups and risking directory inconsistency. The bug affects systems that installed the September 2025 Windows security update (KB5065426) or later updates and can break Microsoft Entra Connect Sync workflows. Administrators can mitigate the problem with a Known Issue Rollback Group Policy or a temporary registry change. A full fix is rolling out before next month's Patch Tuesday.

    Microsoft is rolling out a fix for a known issue affecting Windows Server 2025 systems that installed the September 2025 Windows security update (KB5065426) or later, where Active Directory Domain Services (AD DS) synchronization and Microsoft Entra Connect Sync can produce incomplete synchronization for large AD security groups exceeding 10,000 members.
