Summary
The documentation page demonstrates a strong Windows bias. Most examples, tools, and references are specific to Windows environments (e.g., Windows Server, MMC, Active Directory Users and Computers, DFS Namespace, Windows Updates, NTLM/Kerberos settings via Windows policy). There are no Linux or Samba-specific instructions, nor are Linux client scenarios or tools mentioned. The documentation assumes Windows as the primary client and management platform for SMB, omitting Linux alternatives and parity.
Recommendations
- Add examples and instructions for accessing Azure NetApp Files SMB shares from Linux clients (e.g., using smbclient, mount.cifs, or Nautilus).
- Include Samba configuration and troubleshooting steps for Linux environments.
- Mention Linux equivalents for management tasks (e.g., how to view or modify SMB share permissions from Linux/Samba).
- Provide parity in references to tools: if MMC or Active Directory Users and Computers are mentioned, suggest Linux/Samba alternatives or clarify their applicability.
- Address authentication and password rotation policies for Linux/Samba clients, if relevant.
- Explicitly state any limitations or considerations for Linux clients in each FAQ section where Windows-specific behavior is described.
- Ensure that protocol-level features (e.g., CHANGE_NOTIFY, LOCK, Alternate Data Streams) are described in a cross-platform context, noting Linux/Samba support or limitations.
