Summary
The documentation page demonstrates a notable Windows bias. It references Windows-centric tools and concepts (e.g., Active Directory Sites and Services utility, time.windows.com, Windows Server AD, DNS Policies for Windows, and screenshots of Windows GUIs). All configuration examples and screenshots use Windows tools, with no mention of Linux equivalents or CLI alternatives. While Linux clients are mentioned as supported for Kerberos authentication, there are no Linux-specific configuration steps, examples, or guidance. Windows terminology and tools are presented first and exclusively throughout the document.
Recommendations
- Include Linux-based examples for AD DS site and subnet configuration, such as using Samba or relevant Linux CLI tools.
- Provide CLI-based instructions (e.g., PowerShell, Windows CMD, and Linux shell) alongside GUI walkthroughs.
- Add guidance for configuring time sources on Linux domain controllers (e.g., using chrony or ntpd) and how to ensure time synchronization with Azure NetApp Files.
- Reference and link to documentation for Linux-based AD DS implementations (such as Samba AD DC) where appropriate.
- Clarify which steps are platform-agnostic and which are Windows-specific, and offer Linux/macOS alternatives where possible.
- Balance screenshots and examples between Windows GUI and Linux CLI tools.
