Dear Clients and Friends,
We recommend that you block the installation of Microsoft KB3002657 security update because it breaks Active Directory authentication. We ran into a couple of issues with this update this morning. The first issue was that Outlook 2013 users connecting to Exchange 2013 kept getting prompted to provide their credentials and they could not successfully log on. The second issue was with Okta. Okta users could no longer do single-sign-on through Active Directory. After speaking with Microsoft technical support, we were advised to remove KB3002657 from all the Exchange and domain controllers. After rebooting those servers, Outlook users were able to logon to Outlook and Okta users were able to perform single-sign-on.
