KB4507435 Known Issues

Issue 1:
The problem previously detected with folders or files on a CSV (Cluster Shared Volume) still exists. A permanent fix isn’t up yet. Renaming or such operations on those files and folders may fail. Further, users might see an error message following the failure- ‘STATUS_BAD_IMPERSONATION_LEVEL (0xC00000A5)’.
