Summary
The documentation page demonstrates a Windows bias by consistently referencing Windows-centric tools (such as Active Directory Sites and Services), Windows terminology, and Windows-based configuration steps. Examples and screenshots exclusively show Windows GUI tools, with no equivalent Linux or cross-platform command-line alternatives. While Linux clients are mentioned in authentication scenarios, there are no Linux-specific configuration examples or guidance for managing AD DS site topology from Linux environments.
Recommendations
- Provide Linux-based examples for querying and managing AD DS site topology, such as using ldapsearch, samba-tool, or other open-source utilities.
- Include command-line alternatives for tasks currently shown only with Windows GUI tools (e.g., PowerShell, Active Directory Sites and Services), such as using CLI tools or scripts that can be run on Linux.
- Add explicit instructions or references for Linux administrators on how to validate DNS SRV records, configure subnets, and manage AD DS objects using cross-platform tools.
- Clarify which steps are platform-agnostic and which are Windows-specific, and offer Linux equivalents where possible.
- Consider including screenshots or walkthroughs for Linux environments, especially for tasks relevant to Linux-based clients or administrators.
