Summary
The documentation demonstrates a moderate Windows bias. Windows-specific tools (ktpass.exe, Server Manager, Active Directory Users and Computers) are mentioned explicitly, and the PowerShell/Windows workflow is described in detail. The password reset instructions are exclusively for Windows domain controllers, with no mention of Linux-based alternatives or cross-platform AD management tools. While both bash and PowerShell scripts are provided for keytab rotation, the Windows tool (ktpass.exe) is called out by name, and the password reset steps are only shown for Windows.
Recommendations
- Add instructions for resetting Active Directory passwords using cross-platform tools (e.g., samba-tool, ldapmodify) for environments where the domain controller is running on Linux.
- Explicitly mention Linux equivalents for all Windows tools referenced (e.g., ktutil/adutil vs ktpass.exe), and clarify which platforms each script/tool supports.
- Provide screenshots or CLI examples for Linux-based AD management where appropriate.
- Ensure that bash/Linux instructions are given equal prominence and detail as Windows/PowerShell instructions.
- Add a table or section summarizing platform-specific steps and tools for keytab rotation and AD password management.
