Any internal corporate network where a lot of R&D is done. AD accounts are typically for users and generic accounts, but if you're just spinning up a VM to test something, or you rebuild hosts regularly, local accounts speed up workflows. And a lot of people don't have solid security practices in place.
- arca_vorago 11y agoI've been crucified in irc for suggesting moving away from samba and towards using chef/puppet/ansible/salt to manage windows user accounts (if coupled with pxe booting for dynamic image loading on user machines...) I still like the idea. OpenLDAP, etc also aren't cutting it to me... but don't confuse me misunderstanding the current importance of AD lock-in and the man/mind-hours needed to transition away from it.
