Summary
The documentation is heavily oriented toward Windows environments. All prerequisites, examples, and configuration steps assume Windows clients and Windows Server-based Active Directory. PowerShell is the only scripting environment provided for administrative tasks, and Windows-specific tools (such as Windows File Explorer, Group Policy, and dsregcmd.exe) are referenced exclusively. There are no examples or guidance for Linux clients, Samba, or cross-platform scenarios, nor is there mention of Linux equivalents for key tasks such as configuring Kerberos, mounting SMB shares, or managing permissions.
Recommendations
- Add explicit guidance and examples for Linux clients, including prerequisites for Linux-based access to Azure Files over SMB with Entra Kerberos.
- Provide Linux equivalents for key administrative tasks, such as using Samba tools (e.g., smbclient, mount.cifs) and configuring Kerberos (krb5.conf, kinit).
- Include instructions for managing directory and file-level permissions on Linux, such as using setfacl or getfacl, and clarify how NTFS ACLs interact with POSIX permissions.
- Offer cross-platform PowerShell alternatives, such as Bash scripts or Python, for managing Azure resources and Kerberos trust objects.
- Mention any limitations or differences in support for Linux clients, and provide troubleshooting steps for common Linux-specific issues.
- Reorder examples so that Linux and Windows are presented with equal prominence, or provide parallel sections for each platform.
