I think it's treated as a necessary evil. People are starting to realise that it's less necessary these days.
Anecdotally, back a decade ago it was common to see a Windows 2000/2003/SBS box in even an SME environment being a fileserver/exchange/intranet/AD box. Now, I rarely see one. In fact they're declining even in large corps.
- frik 11y agoWhat do you use as replacement for Active Directory? Which OS do you deploy on thin clients (ChromeOS, Android, Ubuntu/RedHat Linux)?
- buffoon 11y agoAD replacement: oauth2 backed by a directory server (Azure AD / Google apps accounts) Clients: anything really. The OS almost doesn't matter now.
