Feature Request: NetBIOS and WINS deprecation / removal
It is 2022. While having a good course to remove SMB 1 in Windows Server and Windows Client we still have the following things enabled by default, which are not enhancing security and performance. ...
it could be late to the party of Windows Server 2025 release, hence could you consider this Feature Request with a WS 2025 post release roadmap?
I mean Microsoft teams hustle hard, touching big wheels like NTLM, but WINS (deprecated) is still an available feature plus this Netbios over TCP/IP is enabled default on every NIC and vNIC.
Sure one can manage it here

But just thinking what could potential blockers could be making a move.
Thank you once again for your time and consideration.
