Lately I have seen a security recommendation to disable LLDP on LinkedIn.
This was about hardening for Windows Client and Server. As a heads-up that this might be counterproductive and might encounter new support cases because of this move.

Hi Karl, can you provide more information about where you see this recommendation? Network HUD relies on LLDP to get information from the physical switches. So, for Network HUD to function effectively, LLDP is a requirement. This is documented for Azure Stack HCI here: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure-stack/hci/concepts/physical-network-requirements?tabs=overview%2C23H2reqs#network-switch-requirements. We will have similar documentation for Windows Server 2025.- I would need to dig where I have seen it from linkedin but when I read about that, believe this was about an Intune Policy, I saw dark clouds, if other would adapt that as a general recommendation across fleets. Hope you see my point.
- AnirbanPaulYes, understood. Thanks for the feedback. We will make sure that the recommendations are clear for Windows Server and Azure Stack HCI
