Summary
The documentation demonstrates a Windows bias by providing only a PowerShell example for certificate creation, referencing Windows-specific tools (e.g., ldp.exe), and instructing users to test network setup by joining a Windows VM and using Windows tools. There are no equivalent Linux-based examples or instructions for these steps, and Windows patterns/tools are mentioned before any Linux alternatives (if at all).
Recommendations
  • Provide equivalent Linux command-line examples for certificate creation (e.g., using OpenSSL) alongside the PowerShell example.
  • Include instructions for testing network setup from a Linux VM, such as using 'ping', 'ldapsearch', or other standard Linux tools to verify domain connectivity and LDAP access.
  • Mention Linux-based tools (e.g., ldapsearch, openssl) wherever Windows tools (e.g., ldp.exe, PowerShell) are referenced.
  • Ensure that examples and instructions are presented in a cross-platform manner, or clearly indicate which steps are OS-specific.
  • Add a section or callouts for Linux users, especially for common administrative tasks like joining a domain, testing connectivity, and troubleshooting.
