    I literally create AD groups as a small part of my job

    Obviously, I can’t go into any more details just in case. Yes, certainly Linux is King of the server world.

    But your information is not up to date. We’re not going to Azure anytime soon. Congratulations, you are making broad sweeping claims that just don’t hold up to the least amount of investigation.

      I think the point is that Microsoft is phasing out AD and Exchange by making the licensing costs prohibitively more expensive than just using their cloud identity, mail, and SaaS services.

      We are still on prem for AD but that’s due to legacy software that requires it and will be that way for a while but cost will eventually have us on a cloud identity provider and it will probably be Azure

      We already are on exchange online, the costs just don’t make sense to host exchange on premises unless you have a legacy reason too.

      The way I (layman) read it, they seemed to be saying that it would be phased out by newer companies finding different alternatives, not that everyone is phasing it out as we speak.

      Does this seem more realistic? Or just completely non-factual?
