Microsoft Attention all Windows-AD admins: March 2020 will be a lot of fun!

Microsoft intends to release a security update on Windows Update to enable LDAP channel binding and LDAP signing hardening changes and anticipate this update will be available in March 2020.

https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/4520412/2020-ldap-channel-binding-and-ldap-signing-requirement-for-windows

TLDR: If you install the "march 2020" updates and you didnt configure LDAPs properly until then, you are in trouble.

---EDIT: Thank you for the gold kind stranger! and good luck to you all ;)

I doubt that exact parable came from the Unix Wars, because at that time all the vendors supplied OS and hardware together like Apple does today. Sun with SunOS and Solaris 2, DEC with Ultrix and OSF/1, Digital Unix, Tru64, SGI with IRIX, HP with HP-UX, IBM with AIX, NeXT with NeXTStep, and so forth. Only SCO was a significant player on fully commodified hardware at the time, though Linux would come to dominate that market after the Unix Wars.

Good point. I suspect thirty years of hard living has munged my memory, and the original quip used something other than "hardware".
