Summary
The documentation page exhibits Windows bias in several areas. SMB share management is described exclusively via Windows tools (MMC console, Windows Explorer), with no mention of Linux or cross-platform methods for managing SMB share ACLs or accessing SMB shares. Examples and screenshots for SMB features (access-based enumeration, nonbrowsable shares, SMB3 encryption) are all shown in Windows environments, and instructions reference Windows-specific patterns (e.g., 'net view', Windows file paths). There are no Linux or macOS examples for SMB share access, enumeration, or ACL management, and no mention of Linux tools (such as smbclient, mount.cifs, or setfacl) for interacting with SMB shares.
Recommendations
- Add examples and screenshots demonstrating SMB share access, enumeration, and ACL management from Linux clients (using smbclient, mount.cifs, setfacl, etc.).
- Include instructions for managing SMB share permissions and properties from non-Windows environments, if supported.
- Reference cross-platform tools and patterns for SMB share management, not just Windows MMC or Explorer.
- Clarify whether features like access-based enumeration and nonbrowsable shares are visible or manageable from Linux/macOS clients.
- Provide parity in documentation structure by presenting Linux and Windows methods side-by-side where possible.
