Summary:
The documentation is heavily focused on Windows environments, specifically Active Directory and DNS as implemented on Windows Server. All examples, tools, and troubleshooting steps reference Windows-specific utilities (e.g., dcdiag, nltest, dnscmd, registry edits), and there is no mention of Linux-based domain controllers (such as Samba AD DC) or DNS servers. The guidance assumes the use of Windows Server roles and tools, with no Linux equivalents or cross-platform considerations provided.
Recommendations:
- Add explicit notes about support (or lack thereof) for Linux-based Active Directory alternatives (e.g., Samba AD DC) and DNS servers.
- Provide parallel instructions and examples for Linux-based domain controllers and DNS servers, if supported by Azure Site Recovery.
- Include Linux command-line equivalents for diagnostic and recovery steps (e.g., using samba-tool, systemctl, or BIND utilities).
- Clarify early in the documentation that the instructions are specific to Windows Server environments if Linux is not supported, or provide a section on cross-platform considerations.
- Mention Linux tools and patterns (e.g., systemd, /etc/krb5.conf, /etc/bind) where relevant, and provide links to Linux documentation for AD/DNS disaster recovery.
