Summary
The documentation is heavily Windows-centric, focusing exclusively on Windows Server DFS Namespaces, Windows AD, Windows DNS, and PowerShell/GUI instructions. There are no Linux or cross-platform examples, nor any mention of Linux tools or approaches for namespace virtualization or SMB share management. All procedures, screenshots, and code samples are for Windows environments.
Recommendations
- Add a section explaining DFS-N limitations and alternatives for Linux environments, such as autofs, NFS referrals, or Samba DFS support.
- Provide guidance for Linux clients accessing DFS-N namespaces, including any required configuration or caveats.
- Include examples for managing SMB shares and namespace virtualization from Linux, using Samba or other open-source tools.
- Clarify that DFS-N is a Windows-specific technology and suggest cross-platform strategies for organizations with mixed environments.
- If possible, reference Azure NetApp Files documentation for NFS and Linux-based access patterns, and link to relevant guides.
