We are in the midst of planning our upgrade/migration path from SP2007 to SP2010.<br />
<br />
As a part of this, I've been thinking about making the switch to Kerberos in the 2010 environment (we use NTLM in SP2007). &nbsp;<br />
<br />
Is this a reasonable idea? &nbsp;The reasoning behind this is that since we're doing a migration, we'll have several opportunities to test (Test Lab, Staging, and even Production since it's a migration). &nbsp;Another reason is that we'll be creating a window of downtime anyway. &nbsp;So why not take advantage of that window and make the switch to Kerberos INSTEAD OF doing a kerberos switch over several months down the road when we are already live.<br />
