Summary
The documentation page exhibits a strong Windows bias. All operating system prerequisites, configuration steps, and client setup instructions are exclusively for Windows environments (Windows 10/11/Server, Windows File Explorer, Windows registry, Group Policy, Intune, PowerShell, and Windows-specific commands like 'reg' and 'ksetup'). There are no examples, instructions, or mentions of Linux or macOS clients, nor any cross-platform SMB tooling or Kerberos configuration guidance for non-Windows systems. Windows tools and patterns (PowerShell, File Explorer, registry edits, Group Policy) are presented as the only options, and the documentation assumes a Windows-centric deployment throughout.
Recommendations
- Add explicit guidance for Linux and macOS clients, including supported scenarios and limitations.
- Provide examples for configuring Kerberos ticket retrieval and SMB mounting on Linux (e.g., using 'kinit', 'mount.cifs', and relevant configuration files like /etc/krb5.conf).
- Document any Azure Files SMB and Microsoft Entra Kerberos authentication support for non-Windows platforms, or clearly state if such support is unavailable.
- Include troubleshooting steps and tools for Linux/macOS environments.
- Clarify whether features like share-level permissions and ACLs can be managed from non-Windows clients, and if so, provide instructions.
- If Linux/macOS support is not available, add a prominent note at the top of the documentation to inform users.
