I recently learned that you can coerce NTLM authentication from SCCM servers using any Windows SCCM client when automatic site-wide client push installation is enabled and NTLM has not been explicitly disabled. Next, we need to set up ntlmrelayx to capture and relay NTLM authentication received from our target computers.
