Summary
The documentation exclusively provides troubleshooting steps using Windows PowerShell and the MSOnline module, which are Windows-specific tools. There are no examples or instructions for Linux or cross-platform environments, such as using Azure CLI, Microsoft Graph, or PowerShell Core on Linux/macOS. The instructions begin by explicitly requiring an elevated Windows PowerShell prompt, reinforcing a Windows-first approach and omitting Linux alternatives.
Recommendations
  • Add equivalent instructions using Azure CLI, which is cross-platform and works on Linux/macOS.
  • Provide examples using PowerShell Core, which runs on Linux and macOS, and clarify any module compatibility issues.
  • Mention Microsoft Graph API as a REST-based alternative for enabling service principals, with sample requests.
  • Rephrase steps to avoid assuming the user is on Windows, and offer platform-agnostic guidance where possible.
  • Include a note about prerequisites or limitations for each platform, helping users choose the best approach for their environment.
