We help out a couple local PDs. They still use active directory. And
that's mostly because the county and state systems are AD and they have
domain trusts set up to make everything work. One of them is still using
their reports system from the '90s for old records because the state
won't give them any money to file it into any new systems. Supposedly
the ISP was going to have part time people and interns suck in old
records from various agencies, but it never happened. There isn't a
single common system. Illinois is a fucking joke.

their main app to the vendor cloud, and the pbx will go to hosted
cloud. .... Other than ease of deploying new workstations, printers
and policy, I am having a hard time justifying our maintenance
contract. Even WSUS I've been migrating to server management only with
client downloads since bandwidth isn't the concern it used to be and
storage bloat on wsus is always a pita (anybody who has severe dealt
with running out of drive space on an active wsus and fixing that
hates wsus)
Is AD in the SMB going the way of the dodo bird?
