Summary
The documentation demonstrates some Windows bias, particularly in the prerequisites and preparation steps. Windows tools (Active Directory Users and Computers, setspn, ktpass) are mentioned first or exclusively for key operations like account creation and SPN registration, with Linux alternatives listed later or less prominently. The example scripts are split by OS, but Windows PowerShell (.ps1) is called out as a main option. The process for creating accounts and DNS records assumes access to Windows-centric tools and domain controllers, with little guidance for Linux-based management environments.
Recommendations
  • Provide Linux-first or Linux-parity examples for all major steps, especially for account creation and SPN registration (e.g., using Samba tools like samba-tool, ldapadd, or adutil).
  • Explicitly mention and document how to perform all Active Directory and DNS operations from Linux environments, not just referencing Windows tools.
  • Ensure Linux tools (adutil, ktutil) are listed before or alongside Windows tools (ktpass), and provide detailed usage instructions for each.
  • Add guidance for managing Active Directory from Linux, including using open-source tools and command-line utilities.
  • Where possible, avoid assuming access to Windows domain controllers or GUIs; offer CLI alternatives for Linux admins.
