Description Denis Cardon 2018-01-03 13:20:31 UTC
Since MS-AD 2k3, registration of wpad and isatap DNS entries is blocked by default through a registry setting.

It prevent a rogue workstation joined with the name WPAD or ISATAP to MITM the web traffic of application configured with automatic proxy connection discovery, like internet explorer for example. I guess it is more problem on MS-AD where an authenticated user could join 10 workstations to the domain. 

On Samba4-AD there is no such protection.
