About this tag
Active Directory Certificate Services (AD CS) is a Windows Server role that issues and manages digital certificates for authentication and encryption. Recent discussions on WindowsForum.com cover two key topics: a Windows 11 update (KB5064081) that fixes excessive Event ID 57 CertificateServicesClient log entries, and CVE-2025-27740, an elevation of privilege vulnerability in AD CS due to weak authentication. The vulnerability allows network-based privilege escalation, and mitigations include patching and hardening certificate enrollment policies. These threads highlight real-world operational and security concerns for IT professionals managing AD CS in enterprise environments.
