...and runs a setup process that looks amazingly similar to the one that occurs on first boot after Sysprep. It displays messages indicating that it's "setting up devices" and similar.

In fact, the first time I saw it, I thought Sysprep generalization must be automagic now, but I don't think it is.

I've wondered for a while why Windows doesn't just automatically regenerate the secret stuff when it does the "initial setup" process after being cloned without Sysprep.

Sometime in the Windows 8-era, something changed where, if you clone an image, Windows now "detects" that it's on a new device...

Yep, which is why we should be bypassing ALL of this nonsense and just have healthcare singularly operated, funded, and regulated by government.

I am convinced that America won't ever get there, though. Too many young people are brainwashed in the U.S., even worse than boomers.

AWS is an almost unique parasite:
--It has become too big to fail.
--It has eliminated or reduced millions of local jobs.
--It still costs organizations more than the local jobs would have cost.

I'm gonna listen to it later, but did you happen to go over the new feature where Kerberos can be used between 2 devices without a domain controller (or similar)? And an ETA?

I ask because I am actively transitioning to Entra-only environments and being left with more NTLM than when I started. lol

Who in their right mind would keep their data in the EU after this? This seems like such a catastrophic self-failure that it could lead to serious financial ruin in the EU.

Congress isn't the root of the problem. The root cause is the American people. You cannot put leaders in place who TELL YOU that their plan is to dismantle the United States, almost every election for the past 30 years, and think the U.S. will survive.

America has a culture problem.

This is truly the end of the road for us. And everyone said it wouldn't happen.

Thank you for letting us know. 🙏

I know my org sent less money to Microsoft this fiscal year. And if they think that's bad, just wait till the next fiscal year. Government budget cuts are just getting started. Microsoft is super reliant on SLED.

We have exactly one. We have been slowly working on it since 2019. I thought we would be done by 2022 but here we are.

I still have hybrid-joined devices. As we replace them, the replacements are Entra joined. I still don't like Intune, though.

Yes, but this is for helpdesk changing other users' passwords. We were using ADUC but we on the verge of removing most access to our domain controllers.

Unfortunately, I haven't really seen much learning here in NC. In fact, they think keeping FEMA out is Trump "protecting" them. It's a cult. They will never learn.
