AD for settings is a very poor replacement for what puppet or ansible enable on Unixoids.
Also, AD is becoming less comprehensive on windows, later versions of many MS packages require powershell and textual config additionally or solely. Not to speak of third-party software where AD group policy support was always spotty at best.
Yes, easy clicky setup is possible with AD, but your software options are severely limited, not even exchange is point&click-only nowadays
- munchbunny 6y agoAD for settings is a very poor replacement for what puppet or ansible enable on Unixoids. That's true, but Puppet and Ansible aren't meant for end user device management. They're primarily for deploying/running services. AD is the opposite, it's strong in end user scenarios and weak for running services.
