Have you confirmed you’re not breaking corporate user policy?

Everyone has mentioned Outlook.

Also, 2FA is standard now, like eating ass.

I have the old school utm 9, which was self managed. Now it’s a cloud managed. I haven’t used new cloud portal, sorry.

They still have free home use last I checked. I really like nfr, ce, home use companies.

Sometimes it’s for career progression or familiarity.

Just for SSO, might be easier ways, sure.

I think I’m the most ridiculous, but for the same career reasons as the rest:

Active directory, yes, plus: Azure cloud sync with entra active directory Hybrid exchange on prem and office/exchange online.

For better or worse, large enterprise isn’t going away from M$.

Also, I have transparent proxy sophos IPS, security Onion IDS, Trellix ePO, and other security products all being integrated for info security testing.

Not suggesting this is normal, just my test/dev playground I don’t have to worry about breaking.

All the descriptions are right and techniques. Microsoft sometimes refers to this is split-brain and their documentation.

Organizations that choose not to do that use an active directory specific subdomain like some of the other comments mentioned. Example: adds. Company.tld.

Computer1.adds.company.tld. Dc1.adds.cimoany.tld.

Others doing split domain are

Adds.company.internal

Also the cornerstone of enterprise, for better or worse at the moment.

What about virtualizing windows?

Only thing I know of is hyperv, but it’s not widely used I don’t think and MS is pushing azure $tack right?

Do hit the TrueNas forums. It’s very important if you’re not a ZFS pro.

I had to learn quite a bit before I got my setup right.

The FreeBSD people can be… abrasive at times, let it roll off your back if they are. TN is one of my favorites.
