Your network contains an Active Directory domain named contoso.com. The domain contains a server named Server1 that runs Windows Server 2016.
You need to prevent NTLM authentication on Server1.
Solution: From Windows PowerShell, you run the Disable-WindowsOptionalFeature cmdlet.
Does this meet the goal?
Answer options
- A. Yes
- B. No
Correct answer: B
Explanation
The Disable-WindowsOptionalFeature cmdlet is used to disable optional features in Windows, but it does not specifically target NTLM authentication settings. To effectively disable NTLM, you would need to modify the Local Security Policy or the Group Policy settings, making option B the correct answer while option A is incorrect.
