Speaking of security, why does the "Pre-Windows 2000 Compatible Access" group still contain "Authenticated Users" by default?
Are Windows NT and Windows 95/98 still so common place to make this the default?
- JanMiMar 29, 2024Brass ContributorYou are not able to do a shared nothing live migration (via constrained delegation) in Hyper-V from a management workstation with an empty "Pre-Windows 2000 Compatible Access" group as long as you won't put the involved Hyper-V hosts in the "Windows Authorization Access Group" group. Not sure if it affects Failover Cluster, too. Did not test it yet.

Seeing we are touching NTLM there are other areas I wonder why they are not touched. Do you like to join my call and raising yours in a separate posting? https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/windows-server-insiders/feature-request-netbios-and-wins-deprecation-removal/m-p/3293074/highlight/true#M2506
