Summary
The documentation demonstrates a Windows bias by prioritizing Windows tools (PowerShell's Resolve-DnsName) and Windows-specific concepts (Group Policy, NRPT) in both explanations and examples. Command-line examples are given first in PowerShell, with dig.exe (the standard cross-platform DNS tool) shown second and labeled as 'dig.exe', which is a Windows naming convention. There are no explicit Linux or macOS command-line examples, and Linux-native usage patterns (such as 'dig' on Linux/macOS, or 'host', or 'drill') are not mentioned. Windows administrative tools and policies are referenced without Linux equivalents, and the documentation assumes familiarity with Windows environments.
Recommendations
  • Provide Linux/macOS command-line examples using 'dig' and/or 'host' alongside or before Windows PowerShell examples.
  • Refer to 'dig' as simply 'dig', not 'dig.exe', to reflect its cross-platform nature.
  • Mention how to install and use these tools on Linux/macOS (e.g., 'apt install dnsutils', 'brew install bind').
  • Balance references to Windows-specific tools (e.g., Group Policy, NRPT) with Linux equivalents or note their absence.
  • Explicitly state that the instructions and examples apply to both Windows and Linux/macOS, and clarify any OS-specific differences.
  • Consider including a table or section comparing DNSSEC validation and troubleshooting steps on Windows, Linux, and macOS.
