Summary
The documentation demonstrates a strong Windows bias. All client and server requirements, examples, and tooling are Windows-centric. Only Windows operating systems are mentioned as supported clients, and all configuration steps rely on Windows tools such as PowerShell, Active Directory cmdlets, Windows File Explorer, Group Policy, and icacls. There are no Linux or cross-platform instructions, nor any mention of Linux support or alternatives.
Recommendations
  • Clearly state whether Linux clients are supported for this scenario. If not, explicitly mention the limitation.
  • If Linux is supported, provide equivalent instructions for Linux clients, including required OS versions, configuration steps, and tools (e.g., using kinit, smbclient, or Kerberos utilities on Linux).
  • Include Linux command-line examples (bash, shell scripts) alongside PowerShell examples where possible.
  • Reference Linux tools (such as setfacl, getfacl, or Samba utilities) for managing file and directory permissions, if applicable.
  • If certain features (like Group Policy or Windows File Explorer) are not available on Linux, suggest alternative approaches or clarify the limitations.
  • Add a parity table or section summarizing which steps/tools are Windows-only and which are cross-platform.
