You have to run the command in the VAMT database.
alter table base.GenuineStatusText alter column GenuineStatusText nvarchar(255) NULL
The DB issue fix should have been present in Build 22509 which was released to Insiders on 11/24. The VAMT issue is still pending a fix.
Hi Mary Hoffman thanks for the follow-up. Can we expect the fixes will be released to the GAC of Windows Server 2022 after testing in Insider?
- Fixes get validated first in the version that is being actively developed and then backported to released versions and released in one of the upcoming cumulative updates. Since we don't have a fix yet for the entire problem, I can't speak to what that schedule might be.
- Absolutely agree So far the best response offers a viable workaround.
