Summary
The documentation demonstrates a Windows bias by consistently referencing Windows-centric tools (such as 'Active Directory Sites and Services'), patterns, and terminology. Windows authentication scenarios and tools are described first and in greater detail, while Linux scenarios (Kerberos authentication for Linux clients) are mentioned briefly and without example. All configuration walkthroughs and screenshots use Windows GUI tools, with no Linux equivalents or CLI alternatives provided.
Recommendations
- Include Linux-focused configuration examples, such as using Samba or sssd for AD DS integration, and demonstrate Kerberos setup for Linux clients.
- Provide CLI-based instructions (e.g., PowerShell, Windows CMD, and Linux shell commands) for tasks currently described only with Windows GUI tools.
- Add parity in troubleshooting and validation steps for Linux clients, such as using 'kinit', 'ldapsearch', or 'realm' commands.
- Reference Linux documentation and tools (e.g., Systemd-timesyncd, chrony, ntpd for time source configuration) alongside Windows equivalents.
- Ensure authentication scenarios for Linux are described with equal detail, including network, DNS, and site topology considerations.
