Summary
The documentation displays a Windows bias by exclusively referencing Windows-centric tools and defaults, such as Windows Server Update Services (WSUS) for updates and time.windows.com as the default NTP server. There are no mentions of Linux equivalents (e.g., Linux update mirrors, chrony/ntpd, or pool.ntp.org), nor are there examples or guidance for Linux-based environments. The documentation assumes Windows infrastructure and does not provide parity for Linux users.
Recommendations
  • Include examples and instructions for configuring updates using Linux-based update servers or repositories.
  • Mention and provide guidance for using common public NTP servers (e.g., pool.ntp.org) and Linux NTP daemons (chrony, ntpd) as alternatives to time.windows.com.
  • Add notes or sections for users operating in Linux environments, including certificate management and network configuration.
  • Present both Windows and Linux options side-by-side when discussing server configuration, rather than defaulting to Windows tools and patterns.
  • Clarify that the device can interoperate with both Windows and Linux infrastructure, and provide relevant documentation links for Linux users.
