Summary
The documentation exclusively provides troubleshooting steps using Windows PowerShell and the MSOnline module, with instructions to open an elevated Windows PowerShell prompt. There are no equivalent examples or guidance for Linux or macOS users, nor mention of cross-platform tools such as Azure CLI or Microsoft Graph API. This creates a strong Windows bias and limits accessibility for users on other operating systems.
Recommendations
  • Add equivalent instructions using Azure CLI, which is cross-platform and works on Linux and macOS.
  • Include examples using Microsoft Graph API (via REST or SDKs) for service principal management.
  • Explicitly mention that the MSOnline PowerShell module is Windows-only, and provide alternatives for non-Windows environments.
  • Rephrase step 1 to refer to a generic command prompt or terminal, and provide platform-specific instructions as needed.
  • Ensure troubleshooting steps are presented for both Windows and non-Windows platforms, ideally side-by-side.
