Summary
The documentation page exhibits Windows bias by requiring the use of Windows-centric tools and patterns for key configuration steps. Specifically, it mandates the use of PowerShell (Set-ADComputer) and references RSAT (Remote Server Administration Tools) for managing Active Directory computer accounts, with no mention of Linux-native alternatives. Windows/Active Directory terminology and procedures are presented as the default or only option, and Windows tools are referenced before any Linux equivalents (which are not provided). While Linux is acknowledged as the NFS client platform, all AD-related configuration is Windows-centric.
Recommendations
  • Provide equivalent instructions for managing Active Directory computer accounts from Linux, such as using ldapmodify, samba-tool, or other cross-platform utilities.
  • Include examples of configuring Kerberos encryption types using Linux command-line tools (e.g., ldapmodify, kinit, or samba-tool) where possible.
  • Clarify whether all AD-related steps must be performed on Windows, or if Linux-based administrators can use alternative methods.
  • Add references to open-source or cross-platform tools for AD management, and provide links or examples.
  • Ensure that Linux and Windows procedures are presented with equal prominence, or at least note the limitations for Linux-only environments.
