Summary:
The documentation demonstrates a Windows bias by providing only Windows/PowerShell command examples for Active Directory management (e.g., Get-ADUser, Set-ADUser), referencing Windows-specific tools and policies (such as Group Policy, registry keys, and Windows security privileges), and focusing on Windows terminology and workflows. There are no equivalent Linux or cross-platform command examples or guidance for managing AD connections from non-Windows environments. Azure CLI is mentioned, but only as an alternative for Azure resource registration, not for AD management. The documentation assumes the admin is operating in a Windows-centric environment.
Recommendations:
- Provide equivalent Linux command-line examples (e.g., using ldapmodify, kinit, or samba-tool) for managing AD user properties and Kerberos encryption types.
- Reference cross-platform tools (such as Samba, sssd, or realmd) for joining and managing Active Directory from Linux systems.
- Include Linux/Unix-specific considerations and workflows for AD integration, especially for NFS and Kerberos scenarios.
- Balance the order of presentation so that Linux and Windows tools are introduced together, or provide parallel instructions for both platforms.
- Clarify which steps are Windows-only and offer alternatives or guidance for non-Windows environments.
