Summary
The documentation page demonstrates a Windows bias in several ways. SMB share management is described exclusively via Windows tools (MMC console, Windows Explorer, 'net view'), with no mention of Linux or cross-platform alternatives for managing SMB shares or ACLs. All screenshots and examples for SMB features (access-based enumeration, nonbrowsable shares, SMB3 encryption) use Windows interfaces, and there are no Linux CLI or GUI equivalents shown. The documentation refers to Windows-specific patterns and tools before or instead of Linux ones, and does not provide parity in examples or instructions for Linux administrators managing SMB shares.
Recommendations
- Include instructions and examples for managing SMB share permissions and ACLs from Linux clients, such as using 'smbclient', 'samba-tool', or 'net' commands.
- Provide screenshots or CLI output from Linux tools for SMB features (e.g., access-based enumeration, nonbrowsable shares, SMB3 encryption) to demonstrate cross-platform management.
- Mention and document how Linux users can discover, mount, and interact with SMB shares, including any limitations or differences compared to Windows.
- Clarify whether features like nonbrowsable shares and access-based enumeration affect Linux clients, and how these behaviors manifest in Linux environments.
- Add parity in troubleshooting and configuration guidance for both Windows and Linux administrators throughout the documentation.
