Summary
The documentation is heavily focused on Windows-based Active Directory environments. All examples, scripts, and tools mentioned (such as PowerShell, ntdsutil.exe, DSRM) are specific to Windows Server. There are no references to Linux-based domain controllers, Samba, or cross-platform backup/restore scenarios. Windows terminology and tools are used exclusively and presented as the default, with no Linux alternatives or parity.
Recommendations
- Add guidance for environments using Samba (Active Directory on Linux) where applicable, including backup and restore procedures.
- Provide equivalent examples for Linux-based domain controllers, such as using native Linux tools or scripts for backup and restore.
- Mention cross-platform considerations, such as interoperability between Windows and Linux domain controllers, if supported.
- Clarify that the procedures are specific to Windows Server, and explicitly state limitations or alternatives for Linux environments.
- Include links or references to documentation for Linux-based Active Directory solutions and their backup/restore strategies.
