 ## What about virtual smart cards?
-
 Windows Hello for Business is the modern, two-factor credential for Windows 10.  Microsoft will be deprecating virtual smart cards in the future but not date at this time.  Customers using Windows 10 and virtual smart cards should move to Windows Hello for Business.  Microsoft will publish the date early to ensure customers have adequate lead time to move to Windows Hello for Business.  Microsoft recommends new Windows 10 deployments to use Windows Hello for Business. Virtual smart card remain supported for Windows 7 and Windows 8.
 
 ## What about convenience PIN?
-
 Microsoft is committed to its vision of a <u>world without passwords.</u> We recognize the *convenience* provided by convenience PIN, but it stills uses a password for authentication.  Microsoft recommends customers using Windows 10 and convenience PINs should move to Windows Hello for Business.  New Windows 10 deployments should deploy Windows Hello for Business and not convenience PINs.  Microsoft will be deprecating convenience PINs in the future and will publish the date early to ensure customers have adequate lead time to deploy Windows Hello for Business. 
 
 ## Can I deploy Windows Hello for Business using System Center Configuration Manager?

 The statement "PIN is stronger than Password" is not directed at the strength of the entropy used by the PIN.  It is about the difference of providing entropy vs continuing the use of a symmetric key (the password).  The TPM has anti-hammering features which thwart brute-force PIN attacks (an attackers continuous attempt to try all combination of PINs).  Some organizations may worry about shoulder surfing.  For those organizations, rather than increased the complexity of the PIN, implement the [Multifactor Unlock](feature-multifactor-unlock.md) feature.

+## Why is the Key Admins group missing, I have Windows Server 2016 domain controller(s)?
 The **Key Admins** and **Enterprise Key Admins** groups are created when you install the first Windows Server 2016 domain controller into a domain. Domain controllers running previous versions of Windows Server cannot translate the security identifier (SID) to a name.  To resolve this, transfer the PDC emulator domain role to a domain controller running Windows Server 2016.

 The **certificate trust** model authenticates to Active Directory using a certificate.  Because this authentication uses a certificate, domain controllers running previous versions of Windows Server can authenticate the user. Therefore, you need to issue certificates to your end users, but you do not need Windows Server 2016 domain controllers.  The certificate used in certificate trust uses the TPM protected private key to request a certificate from your enterprise's issuing certificate authority. 
 
 ## Do I need Windows Server 2016 domain controllers?
-
 There are many deployment options from which to choose. Some of those options require an adequate number of Windows Server 2016 domain controllers in the site where you have deployed Windows Hello for Business. There are other deployment options that use existing Windows Server 2008 R2 or later domain controllers. Choose the deployment option that best suits your environment
 
 ## What attributes are synchronized by Azure AD Connect with Windows Hello for Business?
 Review [Azure AD Connect sync: Attributes synchronized to Azure Active Directory](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/active-directory/connect/active-directory-aadconnectsync-attributes-synchronized) for a list of attributes that are sync based on scenarios.  The base scenarios that include Windows Hello for Business are [Windows 10](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/active-directory/connect/active-directory-aadconnectsync-attributes-synchronized#windows-10) scenario and the [Device writeback](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/active-directory/connect/active-directory-aadconnectsync-attributes-synchronized#device-writeback) scenario. Your environment may include additional attributes.
 
 ## Is Windows Hello for Business multifactor authentication?
-
 Windows Hello for Business is two-factor authentication based the observed authentication factors of: something you have, something you know, and something part of you.  Windows Hello for Business incorporates two of these factors: something you have (the user's private key protected by the device's security module) and something you know (your PIN). With the proper hardware, you can enhance the user experience by introducing biometrics. Using biometrics, you can replace the "something you know" authentication factor with the "something that is part of you" factor, with the assurances that users can fall back to the "something you know factor".
 
 ## What are the biometric requirements for Windows Hello for Business?
-
 Read [Windows Hello biometric requirements](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-hardware/design/device-experiences/windows-hello-biometric-requirements) for more information.
 
 ## Can I use PIN and biometrics to unlock my device?
-
 Starting in Windows 10, version 1709, you can use multi-factor unlock to require the user to provide an additional factor to unlock the device.  Authentication remains two-factor, but another factor is required before Windows allows the user to reach the desktop.  Read more about [multifactor unlock](feature-multifactor-unlock.md).
 
 ## What is the difference between Windows Hello and Windows Hello for Business
-
 Windows Hello represents the biometric framework provided in Windows 10.  Windows Hello enables users to use biometrics to sign into their devices by securely storing their user name and password and releasing it for authentication when the user successfully identifies themselves using biometrics.  Windows Hello for Business uses asymmetric keys protected by the device's security module that requires a user gesture (PIN or biometrics) to authenticate.
 
 ## Why can I not enroll biometrics for my local built-in Administrator?
-
 Windows 10 does not allow the local administrator to enroll biometric gestures(face or fingerprint).
 
 ## I have extended Active Directory to Azure Active Directory.  Can I use the on-premises deployment model?
-
 No. If your organization is federated or using on-line services, such as Office 365 or OneDrive, then you must use a hybrid deployment model.  On-premises deployments are exclusive to organization who need more time before moving to the cloud and exclusively use Active Directory.
 
 ## Does Windows Hello for Business prevent the use of simple PINs?
-
 Yes. Our simple PIN algorithm looks for and disallows any PIN that has a constant delta from one digit to the next.  This prevents repeating numbers, sequential numbers and simple patterns.
 So, for example:
 * 1111 has a constant delta of 0, so it is not allowed

 The smart card emulation feature of Windows Hello for Business verifies the PIN and then discards the PIN in exchange for a ticket.  The process does not receive the PIN, but rather the ticket that grants them private key operations.  Windows 10 does not provide any Group Policy settings to adjust this caching.
 
 ## Can I disable the PIN while using Windows Hello for Business?
-
 No. The movement away from passwords is accomplished by gradually reducing the use of the password.  In the occurrence where you cannot authenticate with biometrics, you need a fall back mechanism that is not a password.  The PIN is the fall back mechanism.  Disabling or hiding the PIN credential provider disabled the use of biometrics.
 
 ## How keys are protected
-
 Wherever possible, Windows Hello for Business takes advantage of trusted platform module (TPM) 2.0 hardware to generate and protect keys. However, Windows Hello and Windows Hello for Business does not require a TPM. Administrators can choose to allow key operations in software  
 
 Whenever possible, Microsoft strongly recommends the use of TPM hardware. The TPM protects against a variety of known and potential attacks, including PIN brute-force attacks. The TPM provides an additional layer of protection after an account lockout, too. When the TPM has locked the key material, the user will have to reset the PIN (which means he or she will have to use MFA to re-authenticate to the IDP before the IDP allows him or her to re-register).
 
 ## Can Windows Hello for Business work in air gapped environments?
-
 Yes.  You can use the on-premises Windows Hello for Business deployment and combine it with a third-party MFA provider that does not require Internet connectivity to achieve an air-gapped Windows Hello for Business deployment.
 
 ## Can I use third-party authentication providers with Windows Hello for Business?
-
 Yes, if you are federated hybrid deployment, you can use any third-party that provides an Active Directory Federation Services (AD FS) multi-factor authentication adapter.  A list of third-party MFA adapters can be found [here](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-server/identity/ad-fs/operations/configure-additional-authentication-methods-for-ad-fs#microsoft-and-third-party-additional-authentication-methods).
