Resolution

We have had the feedback from several customers that updating the Windows 2012 servers with the last KBs from Windows Update has allowed to completely eradicate the issue.

We still don't know exactly what is the KB containing the fix, but should be one of these two: KB3192884 (MS16-120) or KB3175024.

Please ask your Windows System Administrators to apply those KB on the impacted systems.
