Summary
The documentation is heavily oriented toward Windows environments, with all examples and instructions using Windows-specific tools (Active Directory Domains and Trusts console, DNS Manager, icacls, setspn, net use, klist, PowerShell). There are no Linux or macOS equivalents or guidance for performing these tasks on non-Windows platforms. This creates friction for administrators who manage hybrid or Linux-based environments.
Recommendations
- Add equivalent instructions for Linux environments, such as using Samba for domain joining and Kerberos configuration.
- Provide examples of mounting Azure Files SMB shares from Linux using smbclient or mount.cifs, including Kerberos authentication setup.
- Document how to manage AD trusts, SPNs, and DNS records using cross-platform or command-line tools available on Linux (e.g., samba-tool, kinit, klist, nsupdate).
- Clarify any limitations or requirements for Linux/macOS clients in multi-forest scenarios, and link to relevant resources.
- Where PowerShell is used for sync or management, offer CLI or REST API alternatives if available.
