Summary
The documentation page demonstrates a Windows bias in several areas. PowerShell is the only CLI method described for manual appliance setup, with no Linux shell or cross-platform alternatives. Registry and group policy checks are exclusively Windows-specific, and all examples for appliance configuration and troubleshooting reference Windows tools and patterns. There is no mention of Linux-based deployment or management steps, nor are Linux equivalents for core operations (such as shell scripts or configuration validation) provided. The order of presentation also places Windows-centric methods and requirements before any mention of Linux, which is only referenced in passing for VM credential requirements.
Recommendations
  • Provide Linux shell (bash) or cross-platform CLI examples for manual appliance setup, alongside PowerShell.
  • Document Linux-specific prerequisites, such as required packages, system settings, and configuration validation methods.
  • Include troubleshooting steps and checks for Linux environments, not just Windows registry and group policy.
  • Clarify whether the appliance can be deployed on Linux hosts, and if so, provide step-by-step instructions.
  • Ensure that examples and instructions for both Windows and Linux are presented in parallel, or explicitly state platform limitations.
  • Reference Linux tools (e.g., systemctl, journalctl, /etc configurations) where appropriate for monitoring and management.
