6060 | Feature | Explanation |
6161 |--|--|
6262 | Host Guardian Service Active Directory attestation mode | We're no longer developing Host Guardian Service Active Directory attestation mode. Instead, a new attestation mode is added, [host key attestation](../security/guarded-fabric-shielded-vm/guarded-fabric-create-host-key.md). Host key attestation is simpler and as compatible as Active Directory-based attestation. This new mode provides equivalent functionality with a setup experience, simpler management, and fewer infrastructure dependencies than the Active Directory attestation. Host key attestation has no extra hardware requirements beyond what Active Directory attestation required, so all existing systems remain compatible with the new mode. To learn more about your attestation options, see [Deploy guarded hosts](../security/guarded-fabric-shielded-vm/guarded-fabric-configure-hgs-with-authorized-hyper-v-hosts.md). |
63 −| IIS Digest Authentication | This authentication method will be replaced. Instead, you should start using other authentication methods such as Client Certificate Mapping. To learn more, see [Configuring One-to-One Client Certificate Mappings](/iis/manage/configuring-security/configuring-one-to-one-client-certificate-mappings) and [Application Settings](/iis-administration/configuration/appsettings.json). |
63 +| IIS Digest Authentication | This authentication method will be replaced. You should start using other authentication methods, like Client Certificate Mapping.

6464 | IIS 6 Management compatibility | Specific features being considered for replacement are:<br><br><li>IIS 6 Metabase Compatibility (Web-Metabase)</li><li>IIS 6 Management Console (Web-Lgcy-Mgmt-Console)</li><li>IIS 6 Scripting Tools (Web-Lgcy-Scripting)</li><li>IIS 6 WMI Compatibility (Web-WMI)</li><br>IIS 6 Metabase Compatibility acts as an emulation layer between IIS 6-based metabase scripts and the file-based configuration used by IIS 7 or newer versions. You should start migrating management scripts to target IIS file-based configuration directly, by using tools such as the `Microsoft.Web.Administration` namespace.<br><br>You should also start migration from IIS 6.0 or earlier versions, and move to the latest version of IIS, which is always available in the most recent release of Windows Server. |
6565 | Internet Storage Name Service (iSNS) | The Server Message Block (SMB) feature offers essentially the same functionality with more features. See [Server Message Block Overview](/previous-versions/windows/it-pro/windows-server-2012-R2-and-2012/hh831795(v=ws.11)) for background information on this feature. |
6666 | IPv4/6 Transition Technologies | 6to4 is disabled by default since Windows 10, version 1607 (the Anniversary Update). ISATAP is disabled by default since Windows 10, version 1703 (the Creators Update). Direct Tunnels is disabled by default. Use native IPv6 support instead. |
