MTSD issues on Server 2012 update

A customer of ours who had the message last week regarding not able to send MTD with Server 2012 has been able to send the MTD return today no changes to the environment were made

Any known reasons why it is working now but not for last 2 weeks

That's very interesting Andrew! I had a customer yesterday still getting the error about internet! I wonder if they have changed something back with it affecting so many people?

my customer has been checking every day and today was successful

I do wonder if HMRC have been inundated with calls they decided to reverse it

I wouldn't put it past them. I've a couple of customers who we have put workarounds in place until server refreshes are in place, so I can get them to try the old way and I'll update back here what happens :-)

their IT at sompoint must have applied the below reg key changes. This allows the MTD to go through on 2008 & 2012 (both are still unsupported mind, but it gets them past this problem

HMRC changes that will affect your application (they can do this anytime to remove support for older OS's)

A breaking change is a change to the HMRC API platform that requires you to make changes to your software, so it continues to work.

We try to avoid breaking changes, but sometimes they need to be made.

Breaking changes can be:

API specific (for example retiring a stable version of an API)
platform wide (for example retiring support for insecure TLS versions and cipher suites)

You will receive 6 months notice before breaking changes are made in production. developer.service.hmrc.gov.uk/.../development-practices

I suspect so. I have a customer with a Standalone windows 7 machine and this has also started working today. I wonder if the FPS will also send ?

To confirm, I was about to update a really tied down University site onto a 2019 server, but hey presto, it works now!! ... their IT have definitely not changed anything so it must be at the HMRC end...

That was lucky Tony! I wonder how long this will last for so still a big push needed to get everyone off these 2012 servers and Windows 7 as the plug I'm sure will be pulled again but at least it gives some wiggle room :-)

Agree, it has still pushed them to migrate at some point to the latest Server OS...and at least they have a servers setup ... but they can now plan the migration in a more measured way!

...a bit frustrating though that there is no communication from HMRC about this...

Just need to invest in a crystal ball :-)
