Hi Gustavo,

Thank you very much — your report helped us uncover an important compatibility scenario.

We’re preparing to release a new version of the MCP Server installer soon, which will improve reliability on systems affected by this issue.

In the meantime, since we’ve confirmed that Exit Code -1073740286 = 0xC0000602 (STATUS_FAIL_FAST_EXCEPTION), which matches a known .NET 9 CET crash on systems without full Shadow Stack support, here are two recommended workarounds:

  • Update Windows Server 2022 with the latest cumulative updates (e.g., KB5034129 or newer), so the OS fully supports hardware-enforced CET/Shadow Stacks.

  • Or temporarily disable CET for the MCP Server process:

    Set-ProcessMitigation -Name NetwrixAuditorMCPServer.exe -Disable UserShadowStack

Thanks again for highlighting this — your feedback is truly appreciated.
Let us know if you try either workaround or need any further assistance.
