Summary
The documentation page demonstrates a strong Windows bias. All examples and instructions are exclusively for Windows environments, specifically using Microsoft Configuration Manager and Windows Installer (.msi) packages. The agent download and installation steps reference only the Windows version, and all automation is shown via PowerShell scripts. There is no mention of Linux equivalents, Linux agent packages, or cross-platform deployment strategies. The use of Windows-specific tools and patterns (Configuration Manager, PowerShell, .msi) is pervasive throughout the guide.
Recommendations
- Add parallel instructions and examples for Linux environments, including how to deploy the Connected Machine Agent on Linux servers at scale.
- Reference and provide download links for the Linux agent package (typically .deb or .rpm) alongside the Windows .msi.
- Include sample task sequences or automation scripts using Bash or other Linux-native tools (e.g., shell scripts, Ansible, or cloud-init).
- Describe how to use cross-platform deployment tools (such as Ansible, Puppet, or Azure Automation) for onboarding Linux machines.
- Explicitly state platform support and clarify any differences in process or tooling between Windows and Linux.
- Provide troubleshooting and verification steps for Linux machines, not just Windows.
