Summary
The documentation shows a moderate Windows bias. Windows-specific tools (ktpass.exe) and workflows (Server Manager, Active Directory Users and Computers) are described in detail, with PowerShell scripts provided alongside bash scripts. The Windows GUI workflow for password reset is described step-by-step with screenshots, while Linux alternatives are not mentioned. The bash script is referenced, but Windows tools and patterns (ktpass.exe, GUI password reset) are presented first and in more detail.
Recommendations
- Add explicit instructions for resetting the Active Directory password using Linux tools (e.g., samba-tool, ldapmodify, or via command line with Kerberos utilities).
- Provide parity in examples: show how to perform keytab rotation and password reset using Linux-only environments, including CLI steps for Linux-based domain controllers.
- Clarify which steps are platform-specific and offer alternatives for Linux/macOS users.
- Ensure bash script usage is described as thoroughly as PowerShell/Windows workflows.
- Add screenshots or terminal output for Linux-based workflows where appropriate.
