Summary
The documentation is heavily biased towards Windows environments. All examples and instructions use Windows PowerShell (specifically PowerShell 5.1), Windows-specific modules (Active Directory PowerShell, AzFilesHybrid), and Windows command-line tools (Setspn). There are no Linux or cross-platform alternatives provided, and the documentation assumes the administrator is working in a Windows domain-joined environment. Linux tools, Samba integration, or Kerberos configuration from non-Windows systems are not mentioned or supported in the examples.
Recommendations
- Provide equivalent instructions and examples for Linux environments, such as using Samba, Kerberos, and LDAP tools to join and manage AD DS identities.
- Include cross-platform PowerShell (PowerShell Core/7+) compatibility notes and alternatives, or clarify limitations.
- Document how to perform AD DS integration steps from Linux-based systems, including creating computer/service accounts and setting SPNs using Linux tools (e.g., samba-tool, kinit, ldapmodify).
- Add troubleshooting and verification steps for Linux clients accessing Azure Files with AD DS authentication.
- Explicitly state OS requirements and limitations at the beginning, and link to Linux-specific guides if available.
