Hilariously, I bet it’s because their Active Directory domain is the same as their public domain, and it becomes a massive pain in the ass to hostname the root domain. Yes, externally you can do it just fine, but then it’s not consistent internally on their private network.

Lol oh I never said it’s a good solution. The worst part isn’t running IIS, it’s running IIS on a donation controller. The better option is using a different domain for AD than your web domain, as long as it’s a publicly registered domain for certificate purposes.
