Summary:
The documentation is heavily focused on Windows environments, specifically Windows Server-based Active Directory. All examples, tools, and procedures are Windows-centric, with explicit use of Windows tools (e.g., PowerShell, ntdsutil.exe) and no mention of Linux-based domain controllers or cross-platform scenarios. Linux is not referenced at all, and all backup/restore instructions assume a Windows operating system.
Recommendations:
- Acknowledge that Active Directory Domain Services (AD DS) is a Windows technology, but clarify whether Azure Backup supports Samba/LDAP-based domain controllers on Linux (if applicable).
- If Linux-based domain controllers (e.g., Samba AD) are supported, provide equivalent backup and restore guidance, including Linux command-line examples and tools.
- Where PowerShell scripts are provided, offer bash or shell script equivalents if Linux is supported.
- Explicitly state in the prerequisites or introduction that the procedures apply only to Windows Server-based AD DS if Linux is not supported, to avoid confusion.
- Include a comparison table or section outlining backup/restore options for both Windows and Linux environments, even if only to clarify limitations.
