Hey everyone! My workplace has decided to disable NTLM, and now our Sharp copiers are struggling with LDAP authentication. I'm planning to set up Kerberos servers and activate reverse DNS. I'm curious to hear your experiences—what unexpected issues or funny stories have you had after making similar changes?

I have a pretty old Canon network scanner that relies on NTLM too. To get around that, I set up a local Linux machine running Samba. It has been working fine since then! Microsoft always touts the advantages of their 'Network Neighborhood'—I feel like we've got just as good a setup with Linux.
Honestly, I wouldn't even let the copiers connect to Active Directory. We just set up our Sharp machines to scan directly to email using Office 365 SMTP. Users can enter their emails directly in the address book, and it works better without those complicated connections.
If your main concern is just looking up email addresses, consider using OpenLDAP as a proxy. It can handle NTLM requests from your scanners and then pass those along to your AD servers using Kerberos. It might simplify things for you.
