Microsoft is making an important security change in Windows soon
Summary
Microsoft is tightening Windows authentication by reducing reliance on NTLM and pushing organizations toward Kerberos-based alternatives. The next Windows Insider Canary release will preview IAKerb and LocalKDC, which help Kerberos work in restricted enterprise networks and local account scenarios. Microsoft plans to enable IAKerb by default while leaving LocalKDC off initially, with admin controls available through registry settings and later through management tools and Group Policy. IT teams still using NTLM need to test these changes early because the default behavior will shift in upcoming client and server Windows versions.
