ntlm deprecation

About this tag
NTLM deprecation is a central topic in Windows security, with Microsoft actively pushing organizations to replace the legacy NTLM authentication protocol with Kerberos. Recent discussions cover Microsoft's phased roadmap, which includes introducing Kerberos-first defaults, adding IAKerb and LocalKDC for scenarios that previously required NTLM fallback, and eventually disabling network NTLM by default in future Windows Server and client releases. The move aims to eliminate architectural excuses for NTLM usage, improving security by reducing reliance on a protocol known for vulnerabilities. IT teams are advised to use new auditing and migration tooling to identify and remediate legacy NTLM dependencies, with practical examples including Kerberos support for SMB in AWS DataSync.
