Summary
The documentation page demonstrates a Windows bias in several ways: Windows credentials and tools are mentioned first or exclusively in key sections, such as SQL Server and File Server discovery. Windows-specific roles (e.g., File Server, IIS, SCCM) are described in detail, while equivalent Linux examples, tools, or patterns are missing or only briefly referenced. The instructions and examples tend to prioritize Windows environments, with Linux support often described as secondary or in passing.
Recommendations
- Provide explicit Linux examples and instructions alongside Windows ones, especially for credential provisioning, role discovery, and permissions.
- Include Linux equivalents for Windows-specific tools and roles (e.g., Samba for file servers, Apache/Nginx for web servers, Linux patch management tools).
- Ensure that Linux authentication and configuration steps are described with equal detail, including sample commands and configuration file references.
- List Linux and Windows options together, or alternate their order, to avoid 'Windows first' presentation.
- Add troubleshooting and permissions guidance for Linux environments, matching the depth given to Windows/SQL Server.
- Clarify support for Linux file servers and web apps, and expand on limitations or future roadmap if parity is not yet achieved.
