Yes, I am sure - as far as DFS (\\DOMAINNAME\dfs) is concerned. This is
needed also for software packages assigned by AD Group policies. For other
UNC paths (\\XYZ\ABC) it might look different. Maybe it can be adjusted by
Group Policy.

I don't have a proper reference, but just found some hints are here:

The Local Service account would use anonymous credentials.
