Summary
The documentation demonstrates a Windows bias by exclusively referencing Windows-centric tools and defaults (e.g., WSUS, time.windows.com), and omitting Linux equivalents or examples. Update server configuration is described only in terms of Microsoft Update and Windows Server Update Services, with no mention of Linux patching solutions. The default NTP server is time.windows.com, with no alternative Linux-friendly suggestions. No Linux-specific instructions, examples, or terminology are provided.
Recommendations
  • Include examples of configuring update servers using Linux-based solutions (e.g., apt mirrors, yum repositories) or clarify if only WSUS is supported.
  • List alternative public NTP servers (e.g., pool.ntp.org) alongside time.windows.com, and provide guidance for Linux environments.
  • Add notes or sections for Linux administrators, specifying any differences or additional steps required for Linux-based management.
  • Where possible, provide cross-platform instructions or clarify platform limitations, so Linux users are not excluded.
  • Avoid using Windows-specific terminology as the default; present options for both Windows and Linux environments equally.
