If it runs the business, go talk to whoever failed the politics and didn't get the necessary investments to get back on track for the long term by rebuilding this in a modern stack. How are conversations about enterprise risk not happening here?

Since you're just being squeezed to get through another day, why not P2V into VMs stripped of domain privileges - sounds like its all Windows - and use something like a remote access product to control and record entry?

Let's assume you're broke and it's just the wild west over there in terms of processes and maturity, uh, you could P2V into Hyper-V or Proxmox, remove domain membership and all other accounts, leaving just the credentials needed to make the app work. You could go down the RD access route (blegh), but I'd probably go for something prebuilt and cheap like Splashtop to auth with MFA and permit a basket of users to connect to the VM(s) while recording all sessions. Hopefully there's some kind of EDR agent compatible with the guest OS in the VM to have some telemetry what's going on in there.

But the root of the problem is that someone failed you, politically.
