We'd like to report an issue with kb4516065 on RDS-server 2008r2, as we have found no issue-reports online.
Monthly kb4516065 has been installed last Friday night, without any issues. The update was considered high priority because we are mainly working on a 5-server RDS-Farm based on Win2008r2.
Since the update we've had multiple intermittent delays and stalls of traffic hourly. Both between clients and servers and between servers of the domain itself.
Crossing off all affected systems one-bye-one we eventually removed kb4516065 from one of the servers yesterday (Wednesday). To find the delays diminish drastically from a single user reporting 10 times between 9am and 10am to (after update removal) 1 delay from 4 users between 11am and 5pm.
Yesterday evening we removed the affected update from all RDS-servers, to get communications working reliable again.
We found no WinOS- or VMplatform-logs reporting the symptoms. No timeout errors, no communication errors from firewall or switches.
Also, no visible signs of CPU stress/pauzes in the VM-platform - as the update also holds fixes for CPU-issues.
As stated above, this is more to report the find. Raise awareness.

I'd also like to add that we found, Removal of the update makes the servers loose domain handshake.
Servers were reacting like main 'domain' and 'domain.local' are two separate networks. Only 'domain.local' was available, but shares were recognized as being from the other 'domain' (and unavailable). Removing the server from domain, running SFC, and reconnecting with domain seems to be the fastest way to get communication working again.
