JoshMora thank you for flagging this once again.
I have two scenarios, that I am curious how these will be solved without NTLM.
Customers do
1. Often put Windows Server based Backup servers outside the AD Domain. However they need to auth against Domain to Backup data, e. g. SQL agents or file based backups
2. Windows Server 2025 and likely Azure Stack HCI will receive a AD less clustering.
How will certain things work without AD?
- Live and Storage Migration
- SMB encryption
- Migration across clusters
- using Windows Admin Center for cluster Management from gateway VM or PAW.
- Remote Management from PAW of AD-less cluster
Currently the best approach is to put the Clusters and backup and management into a seperate domain from production domain instead. But really wonder how AD less cluster or Backup Servers would be manageable.
3. There are LOB Apps on Workstations or servers in medical, telco, or industry that do not like domain join and external contractors would not support when domain joined (fear of GPOs etc).
How to handle these may say stubborn stuff. Siemens is / was among these for their telephone management appliances, like HiPath.
