If it's anything like my experience with Centrify, it's down to trying
to audit / push out unsupported hardware. The Windows machines are
handled by external IT and Centrify compatible hardware must have that
installed. IT then uses Centrify to log in and inspect the installed
software, looking for security flaws (without checking for backports).
As soon as a few flaws are identified, the hardware is kicked off the
network until justification is supplied. Maintaining the OS and
packages is up to the user.

I don't know if it's the same in this case, but Centrify may be
required for the machine to stay on the network.
