In Azure-ID / Entra-ID scenarios, computers may not be able anymore to resolve AD-Users via access to the AD-Controller (even if they are still joined to a domain).

In such situations it is not recommended attempting to resolve users via AD.

On the Windows tab page, you will find the option "Use Active Directory if available (otherwise only the local user database of the computer is used) [Use Active Directory - if available (otherwise only local user database of computer is used)] ", which allows you to deactivate AD searches. The local user database remains usable as the server may be running as a local user account.

	Note
	Deactivating the option will also prevent the PARTapplicationServer itself from using AD accounts. So you will not be able to use domain based service users there... You then must use local user accounts to run the service.
