Maybe stop running critical infra on top of Windows? lol. Microsoft is claiming they have zero culpability here but they created this ecosystem and Crowdstrike is just playing around in it.

Ancient IT mindset says "me need domain controller. me buy win server." but it does not need to be like this.

Most companies have 3rd party software they buy which is critical to their and most of that software was designed to run on Windows. Since people are locked into this software, the vendors of said software have little incentive to switch off Windows Server. Exchange Server is prime example of this if everyone hadn't switch to 365.

This is the state of modern Enterprises.
