Sure, they want you to use Azure AD (now called Entra ID) or maybe Entra Domain services. But they are absolutely not stopping anyone from hosting their own AD like normal. There even came a few nice improvements to AD in Windows server 2025 so it’s actively being developed. Server 2025 is being supported until 2034. So AD will be supported until AT LEAST 2034 but very very likely much longer.

Nowadays it’s very common to have a hybrid setup with AD and Entra ID where users and devices sync to Entra ID from AD. Many features are available in AD and/or Entra ID (or any of the other related cloud services like Intune). For example: you can choose if you want your bitlocker keys backed up to Entra or AD.

AD will likely stay relevant for many decades to come. Especially for larger companies with special requirements.

To be fair ChatGPT didn’t exist 12 years ago.

I mean is anything iOS really open source?

Just curious, what management software are you gonna use?

P.S good luck configuring Linux if you can’t even manage bitlocker.

I haven’t received a single source.

Okay, can you provide a source for both claims?

Nah, there are absolutely some people that are worse than others.

All racists are obviously horrible but this is on a whole other level.

Which western media?

You know…

Has anyone claimed that the protests were entirely peaceful? Of course some turn violent when you roll in with your army and riot police gun blazing.

And thanks for confirming that it wasn’t a tank.

There really are no excuses for the killing of dozens if not hundreds of civilians and protestors.

And the protests were entirely peaceful to begin with but of course China couldn’t let that continue.

The censorship of the event also speaks a great deal about who’s fault it is.

Who could’ve guessed that people turn violent when you start shooting them 😱

I don’t have a president.

Yes, of course you people like it but the rest of us for sure aren’t switching to worse instances.

Ultra racists like these are frightening.

No the post is about the Chinese massacre.

By all mean call out genocide but it’s not relevant in post.

Don’t try to dismiss criticism of one massacre and its continuous censorship by bringing up another massacre.

What? What that fuck are you talking about and how is it relevant to the tiananmen square massacre?

That video is really low res. Do you have any sources that prove that the moving object is a tank and that the people are students?

But honestly it doesn’t really matter because running over people because they are protesting a dictatorship is fucking gruesome.

How is the US doing “anti-Chinese propaganda”?

You should(n’t) see the gruesome pictures. China is likely very happy that the tank man picture became famous when there were LOADS of other horrible images .

Nah, you just select domain join. I did that a few weeks ago on a Win 11 enterprise install.

But if you deal with new installs “all the time” you should really consider automating the setup and domain joining, instead of manually creating local accounts and then domain joining.
