Interop with Windows zeroconf/LLMNR

[Elazar Leibovich]

Hi,

It's really convenient that two Linux computers usuallly have mDNS
installed by default.
I can then do scp x moshe.local, to my friend's laptop.

In order for that to work with Windows, one can enable Window's zeroconf
standard, LLMNR. The easiest way is by configuring systemd-resolved to
support LLMNR.

Alas, when I did that, two Windows laptop I examined had LLMNR turned off.
The owners were not sure why.

Can anyone estimate why this happened?

Is LLMNR really a good way to interop with Windows, or would half of the
Windows machine would have it turned off?

Anyone has experience with that?
