Summary
The documentation demonstrates a Windows bias by requiring the use of PowerShell commands (Set-ADComputer) and referencing Windows-specific tools (RSAT) for critical configuration steps, such as setting Kerberos encryption types on Active Directory computer accounts. These steps are presented without Linux or cross-platform alternatives, and the Windows/PowerShell approach is described first and exclusively, even though the NFS client is Linux-based.
Recommendations
  • Provide equivalent instructions for setting Kerberos encryption types using Linux-based tools such as 'ldapmodify', 'adcli', or 'samba-tool', for environments where administrators do not have access to Windows or PowerShell.
  • Include examples of how to perform Active Directory-related tasks from a Linux host, especially since the NFS client is Linux.
  • Clearly indicate whether the PowerShell/RSAT steps are mandatory or if there are alternative approaches for non-Windows environments.
  • Consider restructuring the documentation to present both Windows and Linux methods side by side, or at least mention Linux alternatives where only Windows tools are referenced.
  • Add a note or section addressing cross-platform administration scenarios, acknowledging that not all environments will have Windows domain controllers or administrators with Windows access.
