Summary:
The documentation exclusively provides instructions and examples using Windows-specific tools and PowerShell cmdlets (AzFilesHybrid, Active Directory PowerShell), with explicit requirements for Windows environments (domain-joined Windows client, Windows PowerShell 5.1). There are no Linux or cross-platform alternatives or examples, and Windows tooling is mentioned first and exclusively.
Recommendations:
- Provide equivalent instructions for Linux environments, such as using cross-platform Azure CLI or REST API for Kerberos key rotation if supported.
- Clarify whether the process is fundamentally Windows-only due to AD DS requirements, or if there are supported Linux-based management options (e.g., via Samba, LDAP tools, or Azure CLI).
- If Linux parity is not possible, explicitly state this limitation early in the documentation.
- Where possible, use cross-platform scripting languages or tools (e.g., Python, Azure CLI) for examples.
- Add a section or note addressing Linux administrators and their options (or lack thereof) for this scenario.
