The May Patch Tuesday patch cycle prioritizes testing for critical areas like Remote Desktop, VPN connectivity, secure boot scenarios, and the installation infrastructure of applications. Key testing recommendations include validating Remote Desktop Gateway configurations, ensuring stable VPN connections, and checking secure boot functionalities, particularly in dual-boot environments. Additionally, organizations are advised to automate testing for MSI installers while paying attention to log file creation and SMB folder access. Overall, these tests are essential to maintain system integrity and performance post-update.
Validate VPN creation, connection, and deletion. Also test fast reconnection and password change flows with PEAP-MSCHAPv2.
Test secure boot scenarios, especially if running dual-boot with Linux. Ensure all logins work after this month's updates.
Perform Windows error log creation, appends, and reopen scenarios using Common Log File System APIs.
Conduct basic install, repair, roll-back and uninstall tests for MSI Installer packages.
