Summary
The documentation is heavily Windows-centric, focusing exclusively on Windows Server, Windows AD, Windows DNS, and PowerShell for all examples and procedures. There are no Linux or cross-platform alternatives provided, and all tooling and patterns assume a Windows environment. Even the conceptual explanations and requirements are framed around Windows technologies, with no mention of Linux-based SMB servers, Samba, or non-Windows DNS management.
Recommendations
- Add a section explaining DFS-N concepts for administrators using Samba (Linux) as an SMB server, including any relevant compatibility notes.
- Provide examples for managing SMB shares and DFS-like namespace virtualization using Samba on Linux, if supported.
- Include DNS management instructions for common Linux DNS servers (e.g., BIND), not just Windows DNS.
- Clarify whether DFS-N can be used with non-Windows SMB servers and, if so, provide configuration steps for those platforms.
- If PowerShell is not available on Linux, suggest equivalent CLI or configuration steps using Linux tools.
- Explicitly state platform limitations and alternatives for Linux users, or link to relevant cross-platform documentation.
