dcpromo demote Win2k3 server Failed to configure the service NETLOGON as requested

Heres the full text of the error received:

the operation failed because:

Failed to configure the service NETLOGON as requested.
"The wait operation timed out"

and in the dcpromo.log is the following:

07/07 09:02:24 [INFO] Informed NETLOGON to deregister records
07/07 09:02:24 [INFO] Stopping service NETLOGON

07/07 09:04:24 [INFO] StopService on NETLOGON failed with 258

 To fix:

Change the first DNS setting on your network card to point to your new DNS server, not the server you are currently demoting.  Once you change the DNS setting to the new DNS server you will be able to demote the server without this issue.

Cisco AnyConnect Failed to Initialize Connection Subsystem

I run Windows 8.1 and run Cisco AnyConnect Secure Mobility Client version 3.1.03103 to access a VPN.  After getting the error I updated to the latest AnyConnect Client version 4.0.00061 and got the same result.

Last night I install all of the updates from patch Tuesday (over 1.1G worth including Office 2013 patches).  Today, after I hit connect, it stopped working out of the blue with the error:

Failed to initialize connection subsystem

I suspect a recent Windows update must be the cuplrit.  Heres the steps you will find all over the web to fix it.  THIS DOESNT WORK!  To fix just uninstall the KB3023607 published for install yesterday!

1. Close the Cisco AnyConnect Window and the taskbar mini-icon
2. Right click vpnui.exe in the “Cisco AnyConnect Secure Mobility Client” folder. (I have it in “C:Program Files (x86)CiscoCisco AnyConnect Secure Mobility Client”
3. Click on the “Run compatibility troubleshooter” button
4. Choose “Try recommended settings”.
5. The wizard suggests Windows 8 compatibility.
6. Click “Test Program”.  This will open the program.
7. Close

Cisco has escalated this issue to Microsoft for investigation from what I can find.

This issue was introduced by KB# 3023607: Secure Channel cumulative update changes TLS protocol renegotiation and fallback behavior (https://support.microsoft.com/kb/3023607) and included with Microsoft Security Bulletin MS15-009 – Critical Security Update for Internet Explorer (3034682)

This issue is rumored to affect Windows 7 with IE 11 as well.  I have not experienced this myself as I no longer run Windows 7 on any of my machines.
