Many of the machines in question will have safe mode walled off for security reasons anyway.

fair enough. i can see that disabling safe mode would be a decent security measure. but by the time that kind of exploit is used, you’ve already got bad actors inside your network and there are much easier methods available to pivot to other devices and accounts.
