Following the recent Windows update released by Microsoft, some Netwrix Auditor applications may display error messages. The affected modules include:

  • Netwrix Auditor for Windows Server
  • Netwrix Auditor for Windows File Servers
  • Netwrix Auditor for Active Directory

These errors\warnings do not affect the integrity of the audit log (unless the policy settings are disabled in audited servers). Our R&D team is actively investigating the issue and working on a fix. A patch will be released shortly, and we will notify you here on the Community as soon as it becomes available.

Thank you for your patience and understanding.

It appears that Microsoft might be fixing this on their end as well:

Hey what was the windows update that caused these issues?

@larevalo, this one:

5

Would this update only affect server that Netwrix is hosted on or would we need to run the Out-of-band patch to all devices?

6

It affects the target machines.

7

Is there a Netwrix patch for this as well or is it just the out of band windows update?

8

There’s no patch yet, but the team is working on it, we’ll release it soon.

Could you share what errors are displayed in Windows when affected by the WU problem?

@stan82 it says

Unable to detect audit policy settings for the server ########## due to the following error: Netwrix Auditor cannot automatically configure advanced audit on servers running Windows NT 10.0.

Netwrix Account Manager here - My customer confirmed that installing the out-of-band Microsoft hotfix fixed the Netwrix Auditor issue for us.
