Summary
The documentation page for Azure NetApp Files SMB FAQs demonstrates a strong Windows bias. Most examples, tools, and references are specific to Windows environments, such as Windows Server, Active Directory, Microsoft Management Console (MMC), and Windows updates. There are no examples or guidance for Linux clients, Samba, or cross-platform SMB access. Windows terminology and tools are mentioned exclusively or before any Linux equivalents, and troubleshooting steps are Windows-centric.
Recommendations
- Add examples and instructions for connecting to Azure NetApp Files SMB shares from Linux clients (e.g., using smbclient, mount.cifs, or Nautilus).
- Include troubleshooting steps relevant to Linux environments, such as checking Kerberos or NTLM authentication from Linux.
- Mention Samba and its compatibility with Azure NetApp Files SMB shares.
- Provide parity in tool references, such as alternatives to MMC for Linux (e.g., smbstatus, smbclient, or command-line utilities).
- Clarify which features or limitations apply to non-Windows clients.
- Add notes about cross-platform interoperability, including any known issues or configuration requirements for Linux/Unix systems.
