Everyone knows how to send mail to isadocs@xxxxxxxxxxxxx?
They're waiting and watching for just input such as this...

As long as the official documentation says otherwise, you're tilting at
windmills. If we know better and MSIT knows better, then why doesn't the
documentation get fixed? DOD won't buy if it says otherwise?

Exactly. The guidance as is applies to people who wear hard hats when
they go outside out of fear that a falling piece from a passing airplane
will hit them on their heads. :)

MSIT does it right, and I follow MSIT's model in my deployments. Why
lose Kerberos Constrained Delegation and other security features out of
fear of Comet strikes in the Gulf of Mexico? :))
