Summary
The documentation is heavily focused on Windows Server 2012 and 2012 R2, with all troubleshooting steps, examples, and commands tailored exclusively for Windows environments. There are no Linux equivalents or cross-platform guidance, and Windows-specific tools and patterns (e.g., certutil, PowerShell, Windows file paths) are used throughout. The documentation assumes the reader is working with Windows servers, with no mention of Linux scenarios or how similar troubleshooting might apply to non-Windows Arc-enabled machines.
Recommendations
- Add explicit statements clarifying that the guidance is only applicable to Windows Server 2012/2012 R2, and provide links or references for troubleshooting ESU delivery on Linux or other platforms if relevant.
- Where possible, include Linux equivalents for Azure Arc-enabled servers, such as how to check agent status, manage certificates, or troubleshoot connectivity and enrollment issues on Linux.
- If certain steps (e.g., certificate installation, agent updates) have Linux alternatives, provide corresponding commands (e.g., using openssl, update-ca-certificates, systemctl) and file paths.
- Ensure parity in troubleshooting steps for both Windows and Linux Arc-enabled servers, or clearly state platform limitations.
- Avoid assuming PowerShell or Windows command prompt as the only available shell; mention Bash or other shells where appropriate.
