Summary
The documentation page exhibits a Windows bias in several ways: Windows and PowerShell are prioritized in examples and troubleshooting, Windows-specific tools and registry edits are referenced without Linux equivalents, and there is a lack of Linux-specific operational guidance for SMB features such as Multichannel and encryption settings. While Azure CLI (cross-platform) is included, all client-side configuration and troubleshooting examples are Windows-centric, with no Linux or macOS client configuration or troubleshooting steps provided for advanced SMB features.
Recommendations
- Add Linux (and macOS, if relevant) client configuration and troubleshooting examples for SMB Multichannel, encryption, and protocol settings. For example, show how to verify and enable SMB Multichannel on Linux clients using smb.conf and test tools.
- When referencing PowerShell or Windows registry changes, provide equivalent Linux commands or configuration file edits (e.g., for Samba client settings).
- Balance the order of examples and guidance: present Azure CLI and cross-platform instructions before or alongside PowerShell, and avoid assuming Windows as the default client environment.
- Include notes or links to Linux/macOS-specific documentation for mounting, securing, and optimizing SMB shares, especially for advanced features.
- Explicitly state any limitations or differences for Linux/macOS SMB clients in relevant sections (e.g., support for encryption algorithms, Multichannel, or Kerberos).
