      1. LDAP and / or Kerberos?
      2. That’s what Enterprise Distros are for (Redhat, SLES, Ubuntu)
      3. “Linux-ready sysadmins” is a hen-and-egg problem. If people keep maintaining a rotting Windows ecosystem, thus do not establish a market for linux sysadmins, less people will study in that direction.

      Nevertheless, from my personal experience, corporate IT in non-software enterprises is full of clueless sys"admins" who just go by flowcharts and if that doesn’t help escalate to Microsoft support, and if they can’t help they close tickets as “use as-is”.

          Honestly I didn’t mean to attack you, I tried to make some suggestions and argue some of your points :) My experience as a tech savvy user is that I regularly have to fight corporate IT for permissions /services that permit me to work at full potential, because they keep offering solutions for dumb users and for windows and microsoft based products only. I managed to break free mostly without being self-employed but it was a long uphill battle with stupid people telling me how IT works…

      Linux supports active directory natively and can be joined to a windows hosted active directory domain. It supports centralized policy management as well and in addition there’s a completely open source implementation in: https://www.openldap.org/ supported by RedHat.
