Summary
The documentation page shows evidence of Windows bias in several areas: Windows tools and patterns (such as 'standard Windows AD tools') are mentioned before Linux equivalents, and some troubleshooting steps assume access to a domain-joined Windows machine. Linux alternatives (e.g., using Samba or kinit) are mentioned but often as secondary options, and there are missing Linux-specific examples for some tasks (like browsing AD from Linux).
Recommendations
  • Provide Linux-first examples for directory browsing and account discovery, such as using ldapsearch, samba, or other native Linux tools.
  • Ensure all troubleshooting steps have both Windows and Linux instructions, presented in parallel or with equal prominence.
  • Avoid assuming access to a Windows machine; clarify how tasks can be performed from Linux-only environments.
  • Add explicit Linux command-line examples for tasks like password changes, Kerberos ticket management, and AD attribute lookup.
  • Review the order of instructions to avoid listing Windows solutions first unless there is a technical reason.
