Summary
The documentation page exhibits a Windows bias in several ways. Troubleshooting steps and examples frequently prioritize Windows tools (PowerShell, WinRM, Registry Editor, WMI), with Linux equivalents mentioned later or in less detail. Many error codes and remediation steps are Windows-centric, referencing PowerShell, Windows environment variables, and registry settings, while Linux troubleshooting is less comprehensive and often limited to basic SSH or command-line instructions. Some sections, such as mitigation verification and agent-based troubleshooting, provide detailed PowerShell and Windows GUI steps, but offer minimal or no Linux-specific guidance. The documentation assumes familiarity with Windows administrative patterns and tools, and Linux instructions are sometimes presented as an afterthought.
Recommendations
- Ensure that Linux troubleshooting steps are provided with equal detail and clarity as Windows steps, including GUI and command-line workflows where applicable.
- Present Linux and Windows examples side-by-side, rather than listing Windows first or exclusively.
- Include Linux-specific error codes, troubleshooting scenarios, and remediation steps, especially for agent-based analysis and connectivity issues.
- Expand Linux tool coverage beyond basic SSH, such as using systemd, journalctl, or other native Linux diagnostics for dependency analysis.
- Avoid assuming the use of Windows-only tools (e.g., Registry Editor, WMI) and provide Linux alternatives or note when steps are OS-specific.
- Where PowerShell is referenced for Windows, provide equivalent Bash or shell commands for Linux, and clarify OS applicability in each step.
