Summary:
The documentation demonstrates a strong Windows bias. All examples, tools, and instructions are centered around Windows environments, such as using Active Directory Domains and Trusts console, PowerShell commands, icacls, net use, and klist from a Windows command prompt. There are no examples or guidance for Linux clients or administrators, nor are Linux-compatible tools or workflows mentioned. The documentation assumes a Windows-centric approach throughout.
Recommendations:
- Include equivalent instructions and examples for Linux clients, such as how to mount Azure Files SMB shares from Linux using cifs-utils and how to handle Kerberos authentication from Linux.
- Mention and provide examples for Linux tools (e.g., smbclient, mount.cifs, setfacl) where applicable, alongside Windows tools like icacls and net use.
- Add PowerShell and non-PowerShell alternatives for administrative tasks, and clarify which steps are Windows-only.
- Explicitly state platform limitations (e.g., if certain features are only available on Windows) and provide guidance or workarounds for Linux environments.
- Reorganize sections to present both Windows and Linux approaches in parallel, or clearly label Windows-specific instructions.
- Provide troubleshooting steps and validation commands for Linux clients (e.g., using klist, smbclient, or Kerberos tools on Linux).
