Summary
The documentation is heavily oriented towards Windows environments, specifically Windows Server-based Active Directory and DNS. All examples, commands, and troubleshooting steps use Windows tools (e.g., NET SHARE, dcdiag, nltest, dnscmd) and reference Windows registry settings. There is no mention of Linux-based domain controllers (e.g., Samba AD DC), Linux DNS servers (e.g., BIND), or cross-platform considerations. The guidance assumes the reader is operating in a Windows-only environment, with no parity for Linux equivalents.
Recommendations
- Add guidance and examples for disaster recovery of Samba-based Active Directory domain controllers running on Linux.
- Include instructions for managing DNS servers running on Linux (e.g., BIND, dnsmasq) in failover scenarios.
- Provide Linux command-line equivalents for diagnostic and recovery steps (e.g., using samba-tool, systemctl, dig, nsupdate).
- Reference Linux file paths and configuration files where appropriate (e.g., /etc/samba/smb.conf, /etc/bind/named.conf).
- Clarify which steps are specific to Windows and offer alternative steps for Linux environments.
- Mention Azure support for Linux-based AD and DNS servers, if applicable, and link to relevant documentation.
