I'd be cautious blaming users.
Microsoft literally sells an entire line of Server products ("Server Essentials") that are designed to be a combined AD/Printer/File Share/DNS/DHCP/etc server.
Selling a product to a small business them jumping all over that small business for using it that way seems pretty wrong to me. Larger businesses can and likely should do better (e.g. isolate printers on their own VLAN?).
Ultimately blaming end users is rarely constructive. Frankly the Windows Printer Spooler is using 1990s security thinking in 2021, and that's on Microsoft.
- kayodelycaon 5y agoI happen to agree the small business argument. I was considering larger installs where are resources for a dedicated controller.

Since when small business needs AD ?? :) DHCP, yes but DNS ? "Small business" so no DNS internaly needed so obviously Internet facing... And that do as file share and printer server ?? "Only in Microsoft" :> Becouse MS OSes do not have real ability to install/uninstall basic system components like eg. printer spooler... And how many times now MS spooler was RCE or admin rights source ??
