You’re basically asking how to keep legacy clients and applications working after migrating AD to Windows Server 2022, including older authentication and encryption protocols such as NTLMv1, RC4, SMBv1, TLS 1.0/1.1, and unsigned LDAP. Because these protocols are insecure/deprecated, the safest approach is to identify which legacy systems actually require them and migrate or upgrade those dependencies rather than enabling everything globally.
