Summary

The documentation page demonstrates Windows bias by exclusively referencing Windows tools and patterns. The provisioning utility is located in a Windows-specific directory (%ProgramFiles%), and only Windows/Domain Account and SQL Account credential types are mentioned. There are no Linux-specific instructions, examples, or references to Linux authentication mechanisms or file paths. The documentation assumes a Windows environment for SQL Server management and omits guidance for Linux-based SQL Server deployments.

Recommendations

Include instructions and examples for provisioning least privileged accounts on SQL Server running on Linux, including Linux file paths and command-line usage.
Mention Linux authentication mechanisms (such as local Linux users or Active Directory integration on Linux) where relevant.
Provide parity in tooling or suggest alternative methods for Linux environments if the provided utility is Windows-only.
Clarify any limitations or requirements for using the utility on non-Windows platforms.
Add a section or note addressing Linux support and linking to relevant resources for Linux-based SQL Server management.
