Summary
The documentation is heavily oriented toward Windows environments, with all examples, tools, and troubleshooting steps referencing Windows Server, Windows command-line utilities (NET SHARE, dcdiag, nltest, dnscmd), Windows registry edits, and Windows-specific concepts (FSMO, SYSVOL, DFSR, FRS). There are no Linux or macOS equivalents provided, nor is there any mention of how to accomplish Active Directory/DNS disaster recovery in non-Windows environments. The documentation assumes the use of Windows-based domain controllers and DNS servers, and does not address scenarios where Samba or BIND might be used.
Recommendations
- Add guidance for environments using Samba as an Active Directory domain controller on Linux, including replication and failover steps.
- Include DNS disaster recovery instructions for BIND or other Linux-based DNS servers.
- Provide Linux/macOS command equivalents for troubleshooting (e.g., alternatives to dcdiag, nltest, dnscmd).
- Clarify Windows-specific steps and offer parallel instructions for non-Windows setups where possible.
- Explicitly state platform limitations if Azure Site Recovery only supports Windows-based AD/DNS, and suggest alternatives for Linux users.
