The key takeaway for 2024 is avoiding Pass-Through Authentication (PTA) due to its latency in geographically distributed teams.

While cloud-native solutions like Azure AD (now Microsoft Entra ID) dominate front-office discussions, Windows Server 2022 Active Directory Domain Services (AD DS) remains the non-negotiable backbone for on-premises and hybrid resources.
