Summary
The documentation page demonstrates a strong Windows bias. All troubleshooting steps, examples, and screenshots are based on Windows tools and interfaces (e.g., net use, Event Viewer, Local Security Policy, Registry Editor). There are no Linux or macOS equivalents provided for connecting to SMB shares, checking logs, or adjusting authentication settings. Windows terminology and procedures are used exclusively and presented as the default or only option.
Recommendations
  • Add Linux and macOS examples for connecting to SMB shares (e.g., using smbclient, mount.cifs, or Finder).
  • Include troubleshooting steps for Linux clients, such as checking syslog, dmesg, or Samba logs for authentication failures.
  • Describe how to adjust SMB authentication settings on Linux (e.g., via smb.conf options like client min protocol, client max protocol, or ntlm auth).
  • Provide parity in error messages and troubleshooting flows for non-Windows platforms.
  • Mention cross-platform considerations for SMB (e.g., differences in supported authentication mechanisms, file system permissions, and group policy equivalents).
