Will Corps ditch Windows over Recall for Linux?
What do y'all think? Does switching to Linux as an entire corporation mean RedHat? Or could it be done on a distro like Debian?
You're viewing a single thread.
Recall ist just on a few expensive laptops and companies generally disable stuff like this. In one company we frequently had to do the registry edit to bypass the Microsoft account. Companies in my experience used Debian or Ubuntu as Linux desktop distributions. Ubuntu because professional support and Debian (custom image) for machines that aren’t updated commonly.
Why the hell were you doing regedits instead of just imaging with WDS/MDT or similar and joining to AD?
We only did regedits only sometimes when it needed to go fast, normally we had a drive made with Rufus to disable the account requirement
registry edits
Why were you not using active directory?
Edit: explanation for this particular user is below.
I'd imagine it's due to a lot of smaller companies/orgs that can't afford it and have too few users or machines to justify the costs associated with management infrastructure and costs. I know a lot of companies just buy machines with Pro and have some local IT configure them manually. Pro is marginally better than Home, with regards to management capabilities, but still has some bullshit that is tough to manage consistently.
You can setup Samba AD on a old machine in the worse case. However, a Windows Server basic license is expensive but not much more than pro.
