Microsoft confirms spike in NTLM authentication traffic after Windows Server patch

Why can't they make it that if you want NTLM you have to add it back yourself.

Declare it unfit and clearly lay out the security problems with it and let people continue to use it but you get no support and no basis to complain as you had been duly warned about the dangers of its continued use.

This pussyfooting that "we don't recommend it, and its insecure but will be the provided and made the failover" just seems insane when they themselves say it should not be used. Well you write the stuff so stop inducing.

People are lazy and will use a tool if 8ts already there and seems to be working, so lazy they won't check if it *is* working. They will only move when made to. So make them.

Yeah yeah, "do you know how many systems... Etc." Sure but how many more will it be if they leave it and it keeps getting used and ever more insecure.

And knowing its the failover could lead to peo0le targeting the kerberos end not to exploit it but to make it fail and thus get to using the known insecure backup.

Microsoft is retiring

So many Microsoft aspects that we have been using for years now are no longer working or just working badly, basically the company is probably heading for closure at some time in the future.

I'm having to delete Microsoft OneDrive everywhere today because it's no longer reliably functional and all the current Microsoft operating systems don't work as well as their original versions. So many old companies are only busy generating income, not excited users like they did initially..

"New Technology LAN Manager – is a very old suite"

Nothing ages a product so much as calling it "New".

No Comment

After having moaned about Microsoft since DOS days, I don't think I'm qualified anymore after having watched MSNBC for years and finding out today what the MS stands for.

In galaxy far far away Microsoft released with breaking anything else and it all worked.
