Summary
The documentation page exhibits a strong Windows bias by exclusively referencing Windows tools (PsExec, Internet Explorer, command prompt), providing only Windows-based procedures for proxy configuration, and omitting any Linux equivalents or guidance for environments where the configuration server or vCenter runs on Linux. All troubleshooting steps assume a Windows OS context, with no mention of Linux commands, tools, or UI paths.
Recommendations
- Provide equivalent Linux troubleshooting steps, such as using 'sudo -u' or 'su' to access the system user context.
- Suggest Linux-native tools for proxy configuration (e.g., editing /etc/environment, using 'export http_proxy', or configuring proxy settings in desktop environments).
- Include instructions for modifying proxy settings for vCenter connectivity on Linux-based configuration servers.
- Reference cross-platform browsers (e.g., Firefox, Chrome) instead of Internet Explorer, or provide steps for both Windows and Linux.
- Clarify which steps are OS-specific and offer parity for both Windows and Linux users.
