Summary:
The documentation is heavily oriented toward Windows environments, specifically Windows Server domain controllers. All examples and instructions use Windows tools (PowerShell, ntdsutil.exe), and there are no references to Linux-based Active Directory alternatives or cross-platform scenarios. The documentation assumes the use of Windows Server and does not provide parity for Linux administrators or mention Samba or other open-source AD-compatible solutions.
Recommendations:
- Include a section or note clarifying that the instructions are specific to Windows Server Active Directory, and mention whether Linux-based AD-compatible solutions (e.g., Samba) are supported by Azure Backup.
- If Azure Backup or related tools support Linux-based domain controllers (e.g., Samba AD DC), provide equivalent backup and restore instructions for those environments.
- Where PowerShell scripts are provided, offer equivalent command-line examples for Linux (if applicable), or explicitly state if no equivalent exists.
- Reference Linux tools or methods (such as using rsync, tar, or native Samba backup tools) where appropriate, or clarify their (lack of) support.
- Ensure that any mention of tools like ntdsutil.exe or DSRM is accompanied by a note about their Windows-specific nature and alternatives (if any) for Linux.
