Summary
The documentation page demonstrates a Windows bias in several ways: Windows-specific tools and patterns (WinRM, WMI, Get-WmiObject cmdlet) are mentioned and explained in detail, often before or instead of Linux equivalents. Troubleshooting steps frequently reference Windows technologies (WinRM, WMI, applicationHost.config, IIS, ISAPI filters) and provide explicit instructions for Windows, while Linux troubleshooting is less detailed and lacks parity in example commands or tool references. Linux issues are sometimes grouped generically (e.g., SSHOperationTimeout) without the same depth of actionable steps or tool references as Windows. Web app migration errors focus almost exclusively on IIS and Windows-specific configurations, with no mention of common Linux web stacks (Apache, Nginx, Tomcat).
Recommendations
  • Provide Linux-specific troubleshooting steps and examples wherever Windows tools (WinRM, WMI, PowerShell cmdlets) are mentioned. For example, include SSH configuration, sudo permissions, and relevant Linux commands.
  • When listing port requirements or authentication methods, present Windows and Linux information side-by-side, rather than Windows first.
  • Expand web app migration error sections to include common Linux web servers (Apache, Nginx, Tomcat) and their configuration issues.
  • Where Windows configuration files (applicationHost.config, web.config) are referenced, include Linux equivalents (httpd.conf, nginx.conf, server.xml) and migration considerations.
  • Add Linux command-line examples for credential validation, performance data collection, and troubleshooting, similar to the PowerShell/WinRM examples for Windows.
  • Ensure parity in troubleshooting depth for both OS types, including permissions, service status checks, and error remediation steps.
