Summary
The documentation is heavily oriented toward Windows environments, with all examples, tools, and instructions referencing Windows-specific utilities (Active Directory Domains and Trusts console, DNS Manager, File Explorer, icacls, net use, setspn, klist, PowerShell commands). There are no Linux/macOS equivalents or guidance for performing similar tasks on non-Windows platforms, and Windows terminology and workflows are presented exclusively and first throughout.
Recommendations
- Add explicit guidance for Linux and macOS environments, including how to join Samba servers to AD forests, and how to mount Azure Files SMB shares from Linux/macOS clients.
- Provide Linux/macOS equivalents for command-line tools (e.g., show how to use smbclient, mount.cifs, and set ACLs with setfacl/getfacl).
- Include instructions for configuring Kerberos and DNS on Linux, such as editing krb5.conf and using kinit/klist.
- Clarify which steps are Windows-only and offer alternatives or note limitations for Linux/macOS users.
- Add troubleshooting steps for Linux/macOS clients (e.g., common Kerberos/SPN issues, permission errors).
