Problem

A Windows Update pushed out by Microsoft for Windows 7 and Server 2008 R2 (KB4480970) on January 8, 2019 may cause the Batch Portal in GlobalCapture to fail to authenticate.  Logging into GlobalCapture will present the following error Error: Error connecting to Portal: One or more errors occurred.

Additionally the Batch Portals will appear Red from the Portals configuration screen.  



According to the Microsoft Update article the following is listed as a known issue with the update:

Local users who are part of the local “Administrators“ group may not be able to remotely access shares on Windows Server 2008 R2 and Windows 7 machines after installing the January 8th, 2019 security updates. This does not affect domain accounts in the local "Administrators" group.
