Summary
The documentation page demonstrates a strong Windows bias by exclusively referencing Windows-specific tools (Active Directory Users and Computers MMC, PowerShell), providing only Windows-based examples and screenshots, and omitting any guidance for Linux or cross-platform environments. There are no instructions for performing equivalent tasks on Linux (e.g., using Samba, ldap-utils, or cross-platform AD management tools), nor is there mention of how to interact with AD from non-Windows systems.
Recommendations
- Add instructions and examples for managing Active Directory objects from Linux systems, such as using ldapadd, ldapmodify, or Samba tools.
- Include cross-platform PowerShell (PowerShell Core) examples and clarify any differences when running on Linux/macOS.
- Reference Azure Active Directory and hybrid scenarios where AD management may be performed from cloud or Linux-based environments.
- Provide links or guidance for setting up and managing AD from Linux, including open-source tools and best practices.
- Reorder examples so that cross-platform or Linux methods are presented alongside or before Windows-specific instructions.
