Summary
The documentation page demonstrates a strong Windows bias. All examples and instructions for Active Directory object creation and management are provided using Windows tools (Active Directory Users and Computers GUI, PowerShell). The only automation example is in PowerShell, and there is no mention of Linux-compatible methods (such as using Samba, ldapadd, or other CLI tools). The prerequisite steps assume a Windows-based domain controller and link to a Windows Server-specific guide. No Linux or cross-platform alternatives are discussed.
Recommendations
- Add instructions for managing Active Directory objects using cross-platform tools (e.g., ldapadd, ldapmodify, Samba's net utility) that can be run from Linux.
- Include examples for creating OUs and users using Linux CLI tools or scripts.
- Reference guides for setting up Active Directory-compatible services on Linux (such as Samba AD DC) where appropriate.
- Clarify whether a Windows Server domain controller is strictly required, or if Linux-based AD-compatible controllers are supported.
- Provide parity in screenshots and step-by-step instructions for Linux environments where possible.
