After updating to Windows 10 Fall Creators, users may get notified that access to files and or folders was denied. Typically, this will happen when creating, updating, moving or deleting existing files and folders. We’ve identified the root cause and have created a patched version of WSA that is currently undergoing QA testing. Once all testing is complete, the patched version of WSA will be made available to our customers for manual and automated installations using GSM. We are closely monitoring the inflow of support calls and may push the patched WSA to all customers if the need arises. The next version of WSA, due around December this year, will have the fix included and customers will receive it then as part of the normal deployment processes. There are two workarounds that can be used until the patch version is available. Workaround 1 – If you run agents with an unmanged policy, perform the following on each d

[img]http://sw.nohold.net/Webroot/Images/wsadnsp10102017.png[/img] [b]New Domain Bypass functionality for DNS-P customers now available within GSM[/b] When using the agent, all valid external (A) record DNS requests will be answered by the DNS Protection servers. This becomes a problem when an answer is expected from an internal DNS server. Admins can now bypass known internal domains for specific sites/customers using the exact FQDN or using wildcards so that access to internal drives, sharepoint, etc. is not blocked for their users.
