> Once a **Contain user** action is enforced on a domain controller, it starts a GPO update on the Default Domain Controller policy. A change of a GPO starts a sync across the domain controllers in your environment. This is expected behavior, and if you monitor your environment for AD GPO changes, you may be notified of such changes. Undoing the **Contain user** action reverts the GPO changes to their previous state, which will then start another AD GPO synchronization in your environment.

> We are gradually rolling out a new solution by integrating with new OS APIs. This deployment will be phased and thoroughly tested to ensure stability and security. During this rollout, LSA Policy enforcement on your servers will be temporarily removed to prevent potential GPO sync. This change will remain in effect until the rollout is complete.
