Interop with Windows zeroconf/LLMNR

[Elazar Leibovich]

Thanks,

Even if it's up by default, which seems to be the case at least for some
Windows versions, I still want to know from people's experience, how common
it is to have someone shut it down.
Is it a good practice?
Are organization do that as a security hardening measure?
Etc.
