Summary
The documentation page for Azure NetApp Files SMB FAQs demonstrates a strong Windows bias. Most examples, troubleshooting steps, and tool references are exclusively for Windows environments (e.g., MMC, Active Directory Users and Computers, Windows Server, DFS Namespace, Windows updates). There are no Linux-specific instructions, examples, or mentions of Linux SMB clients or tools (such as smbclient, mount.cifs, or Samba). The documentation assumes a Windows-centric audience and omits guidance for Linux users who may need to access SMB shares or integrate with Active Directory.
Recommendations
- Add Linux-specific examples for accessing SMB shares (e.g., using smbclient, mount.cifs, or gvfs-smb).
- Include troubleshooting steps and best practices for Linux SMB clients.
- Mention Linux-compatible tools for managing SMB shares and sessions (such as smbstatus, smbcacls, etc.).
- Clarify Active Directory integration steps for Linux environments (e.g., using winbind, realmd, or sssd).
- Provide parity in documentation by listing both Windows and Linux approaches for common tasks (mounting, permissions, diagnostics).
- Explicitly state any limitations or considerations for Linux clients when using Azure NetApp Files SMB volumes.
