Enabled by default on compatible hardware, Credential Guard isolates secrets (like Kerberos Ticket Granting Tickets) inside a virtualized container. Even if malware gains admin rights on the Windows 11 machine, it cannot extract the credentials needed to move laterally across the Active Directory domain.
Windows 11 provides seamless integration with Active Directory (AD), allowing organizations to manage user identities, authenticate users, and authorize access to resources.
| Best Practice | Why It Matters | |---------------|----------------| | Update ADMX files | Access new Windows 11 policy settings | | Test GPOs in a separate OU | Avoid breaking new Windows 11 features | | Use Windows 11 security baselines | Microsoft-tested security settings for AD-joined devices | | Plan for hybrid join | Unlocks modern cloud identity features | | Keep domain controllers up to date | Windows 11 clients may rely on newer Kerberos features |
You can manage Active Directory users, computers, and Group Policy directly from a Windows 11 PC by installing RSAT.
