Summary
The documentation is heavily biased towards Windows environments. It exclusively references Windows tools (e.g., .exe utilities, %ProgramFiles% paths), assumes use of Windows command prompt, and does not mention or provide any guidance for Linux-based SQL Server instances or cross-platform scenarios. There are no Linux or PowerShell Core examples, and all instructions are tailored for Windows users.
Recommendations
- Provide equivalent instructions and tooling for Linux environments, including how to provision least-privileged accounts on SQL Server running on Linux.
- Mention and demonstrate cross-platform command-line usage (e.g., bash, PowerShell Core) where possible.
- Clarify whether the MinimumPrivilegedUser.exe utility is available or supported on Linux, or provide alternative scripts/tools for Linux users.
- Include Linux file path examples and environment variables alongside Windows ones.
- Explicitly state any platform limitations and offer guidance for mixed-environment (Windows and Linux) SQL Server deployments.
