Description
I had trouble expanding file shares for the Azure AAD account that I'm logged in to. On inspecting the logs, I saw an error that the header for authentication was too old which made me realize my system time was off (behind by 30 minutes). This is probably not a super common failure but it could be helpful to users if that's pointed out to be a possible cause of enumeration/authentication failures.

Research direction
The issue does not name a file, test, or entry point. Start by reproducing an Azure AAD authentication or file-share enumeration failure with the system clock behind, then trace where the stale authentication-header error is surfaced. Done means users receive a clear warning that incorrect system time may cause authentication or enumeration failures.
