If you select "Deny all," the domain controller will deny all NTLM pass-through authentication requests from its servers and for its accounts and return an NTLM blocked error unless the server name is on the exception list in the "Network security: Restrict NTLM: Add server exceptions for NTLM authentication in this domain" policy setting."
