Summary:
The documentation page demonstrates a Windows bias by exclusively providing PowerShell commands (e.g., Set-ADComputer) for configuring Active Directory computer accounts, referencing Windows-only tools such as RSAT, and describing AD DS/Entra as the only supported Kerberos infrastructure. Linux is mentioned as the NFS client, but no Linux-native alternatives or cross-platform methods for managing the required AD/Kerberos configuration are provided. The order of instructions also places Windows/AD configuration steps before Linux client steps, reinforcing a Windows-centric workflow.
Recommendations:
- Provide equivalent Linux-native commands (e.g., using 'ldapmodify', 'kadmin', or 'adcli') for setting Kerberos encryption types on computer accounts in Active Directory.
- Mention and link to cross-platform tools or APIs (such as Samba's 'net ads', or Python/LDAP scripts) that can be used from Linux systems to manage AD objects.
- Clarify whether non-Windows Kerberos Key Distribution Centers (KDCs) are supported, and if so, provide guidance for those environments.
- Reorder sections or provide parallel instructions so that Linux and Windows administrative tasks are presented with equal prominence.
- Explicitly state any limitations or requirements that force the use of Windows tools, and suggest workarounds or alternatives where possible.
