      Hi Praveen,
      this is not related to a regression introduced with an earlier fix if this is what you are looking for.
      Cheers,
      Stefan

            Hi Praveen,
            if you do not have problems when running the SP2013 workflows you will not benefit from this fix.
            Cheers,
            Stefan

   After installation of binary, the PSConfig fails with error:

   Failed to detect if this server is joined to a server farm, Possible reasons for the failure could be that you no longer have the appropriate permissions to the server farm, the database server hosting the server farm is unresponsive, the configuration database is inaccessable or the server has been removed from the server farm. Following error was found in he PSCDiagnostics log:

      Hi Shravan,
      this indicates a Kerberos problem in the authentication to SQL server and does not look like a SharePoint issue.
      You might want to start here to troubleshoot this or open a ticket with the Active Directory support team at Microsoft:

   Hi Stefan,

   We have hybrid search service between SharePoint Online & Onprem (SPSE) environment. I can see the (Download the Onboard-CloudHybridSearch-SPOONS.ps1 script) powershell script uploaded and available to download at below microsoft page.

   https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/topic/march-11-2025-update-for-sharepoint-server-subscription-edition-kb5002698-d2f72cdc-deae-4cd1-b5ef-a0381c1c4342

   Question : Do we need to run this script in onprem environment post installing March 2025 update for sharepoint server subscription server?

   Cheers,
   Ganesh P.

   Hi Stefan,

   After installing March 2025 update for sharepoint server subscription server, SQL instance got disconnected.
   We have AG setup. Unable to run the configuration wizard. Could you please let us know why? Is there any bug, issue in KB?

   Regards,
   Ganesh P.

   Hi all,

   I had the same issue (SQL) after installing 2025 March CU.

   I’ve set Force encryption to No and SharePoint is working again.

   Best Regards,

   Hi Stefan,

   after installing the CU March 2025, we receive the following error message when we click on the Search Schema link in the Search Service Application to display the Managed Properties.

   “Sorry, something went wrong
   An error occurred during the processing of /_admin/search/listmanagedproperties.aspx. The server tag is not well formed.”

   Do you also get this error?

      The HTML tags in the following application pages looks very strange.

      /_admin/search/category.aspx
      /_admin/search/crawledproperty.aspx
      /_admin/search/listcategories.apsx
      /_admin/search/managedproperty.aspx
      /_admin/search/listcrawledproperties.aspx
      /_admin/search/listmanagedproperties.aspx

      The tags look like (additional spaces in the tags):
      <asp : label
      <wssawc : SPGridView
