Summary
The documentation page demonstrates a strong Windows bias. All examples and instructions for managing Active Directory objects (OUs, users, permissions) are given using Windows GUI tools (Active Directory Users and Computers) and Windows PowerShell. There are no examples or guidance for performing these tasks from Linux environments, nor is there mention of cross-platform tools or alternatives. The prerequisite steps assume a Windows-based domain controller and link to a Windows Server-specific guide for setting up AD.
Recommendations
- Include instructions and examples for managing Active Directory objects using cross-platform tools such as ldapadd, ldapmodify, or samba-tool, which can be run from Linux.
- Mention and provide guidance for using remote management tools (e.g., RSAT from Windows, or LDAP tools from Linux) to interact with Active Directory.
- Add Linux shell command equivalents for PowerShell examples, where possible.
- Clarify whether a Windows Server domain controller is strictly required, or if Samba-based AD DCs are supported.
- Provide links to documentation for setting up and managing Active Directory from Linux environments.
