Summary
The documentation is heavily oriented toward Windows and PowerShell, with nearly all troubleshooting steps, examples, and cmdlets focused on Windows environments. PowerShell DSC tools and commands are referenced throughout, and Windows-specific troubleshooting (such as WMI corruption and certificate management) is detailed. Linux is mentioned only in a few scenarios, often as an afterthought or in a single dedicated section, with minimal guidance or examples for Linux users.
Recommendations
- Add equivalent Linux troubleshooting steps and examples for each scenario, especially for log collection, agent registration, and extension management.
- Provide Linux shell commands (e.g., bash, systemctl, journalctl) alongside PowerShell examples for tasks such as certificate management, log inspection, and agent operations.
- Reference Linux DSC extension documentation and tools where appropriate, and clarify differences in workflow between Windows and Linux nodes.
- Ensure that Linux scenarios are presented with equal prominence and detail as Windows scenarios, rather than being grouped at the end or in isolated sections.
- Where PowerShell cmdlets are mentioned, include the Linux method (such as using the OMS agent, DSC extension commands, or relevant configuration files) for parity.
