Summary
The documentation page demonstrates a clear Windows bias. All examples and instructions for managing Active Directory objects (OU creation, user creation, permissions) are provided using Windows GUI tools (Active Directory Users and Computers) and PowerShell cmdlets. There are no equivalent instructions or examples for performing these tasks from Linux environments or using cross-platform tools. The prerequisite steps assume the presence of a Windows domain controller and reference a Windows-specific guide for domain controller setup.
Recommendations
- Provide equivalent instructions for managing Active Directory objects using cross-platform tools such as ldapadd, ldapmodify, or samba-tool, which can be used from Linux environments.
- Include examples for creating OUs and users via LDAP commands or scripts that work on Linux.
- Reference documentation or guides for setting up Active Directory-compatible services (e.g., Samba AD DC) on Linux, in addition to Windows Server.
- Clearly indicate which steps require Windows-only tools and suggest alternatives for Linux administrators.
- Ensure parity in screenshots and step-by-step instructions for both Windows and Linux environments where possible.
