Summary
The documentation is heavily oriented toward Windows environments, with all examples and instructions using Windows tools (Active Directory Domains and Trusts console, DNS Manager, File Explorer, icacls, setspn, klist, net use, PowerShell). There are no Linux or macOS equivalents or guidance for performing these tasks on non-Windows platforms. This creates friction for administrators who manage hybrid or Linux-based environments.
Recommendations
- Add instructions and examples for performing key tasks (such as mounting SMB shares, managing Kerberos tickets, and configuring AD trusts) on Linux using Samba, Kerberos utilities (e.g., kinit, klist), and relevant Linux tools.
- Provide parity for directory/file-level permission management using Linux commands (e.g., setfacl, getfacl) and explain how to interact with Azure Files from Linux clients.
- Include notes or sections clarifying which steps are Windows-only and offer alternatives or references for Linux/macOS environments.
- Where PowerShell is used (e.g., for ADSync), mention if/when there are CLI or cross-platform alternatives.
- Reorder examples so that platform-neutral or Linux/macOS instructions are presented alongside or before Windows-specific instructions when possible.
