Is it possible to disable NETBIOS and still allow NTLM and Kerberos authentication?



We've been informed by a security auditor that we need to disable NETBIOS on
our network. That seems simple enough to do, but we are concerned that doing
so may affect NTLM authentication which we use for several web based
applications (as well as kerberos). Does NTLM or Kerberos utilize NETBIOS?

Thanks
Brad
