Summary
The documentation demonstrates a Windows bias by requiring the use of PowerShell commands (Set-ADComputer) and Windows-specific tools (RSAT) for essential Active Directory configuration steps. These instructions are presented before any Linux client configuration, and there are no equivalent Linux-based methods or alternatives provided for managing the necessary AD computer account settings. The documentation assumes access to a Windows environment for directory management, which may not be available to all Linux-focused administrators.
Recommendations
  • Provide equivalent instructions for configuring the Kerberos encryption type on the AD computer account using Linux-based tools, such as 'ldapmodify' or 'adcli', for environments where Windows or RSAT is not available.
  • Clearly indicate that the PowerShell/RSAT steps are required only if no Linux-based AD management tools are available, and offer cross-platform alternatives.
  • Reorder sections to present Linux client configuration and mounting steps before or alongside Windows/AD configuration to avoid the impression of Windows primacy.
  • Add a note or appendix with guidance for organizations that use Samba or other non-Windows AD-compatible services for directory management.
