Summary:
The documentation demonstrates a Windows bias by providing only Windows/PowerShell command examples (e.g., Get-ADUser, Set-ADUser), referencing Windows-specific tools and policies (Group Policy, Windows Registry), and focusing on Active Directory Domain Services (AD DS) and Microsoft Entra Domain Services without mentioning or providing equivalent Linux/Unix tools or workflows. Azure CLI is mentioned, but only as an alternative to PowerShell for Azure resource management, not for AD operations. There are no examples or guidance for managing AD connections from Linux environments or using cross-platform tools.
Recommendations:
- Provide equivalent Linux/Unix command-line examples (e.g., using ldapsearch, kinit, or samba-tool) for managing Kerberos encryption types and LDAP settings.
- Mention and document how to perform relevant AD/LDAP operations from Linux-based systems, including joining domains, setting encryption types, and troubleshooting.
- When referencing Windows tools (e.g., PowerShell, Group Policy), also reference cross-platform or Linux-native alternatives where possible.
- Structure sections so that cross-platform or Linux options are presented alongside Windows options, not only as afterthoughts or not at all.
- Clarify which steps or features are platform-agnostic and which are Windows-specific, to help non-Windows administrators understand their options.
- Include troubleshooting tips and best practices for Linux/NFS clients in mixed environments, especially for Kerberos and LDAP integration.
