Summary
The documentation is exclusively focused on troubleshooting Extended Security Updates for Windows Server 2012 via Azure Arc, with all examples, commands, and troubleshooting steps tailored for Windows environments. There are no Linux equivalents or cross-platform guidance, and Windows-specific tools and patterns (e.g., certutil, PowerShell, Windows file paths) are used throughout. The documentation assumes the reader is managing Windows workloads and does not address scenarios for Linux servers, even though Azure Arc can manage both Windows and Linux machines.
Recommendations
- Clarify in the introduction that the guidance is specific to Windows Server 2012 and does not apply to Linux servers, or provide a parallel section for Linux if relevant.
- Where possible, mention whether similar troubleshooting steps or ESU mechanisms exist for Linux workloads managed via Azure Arc.
- If certificate installation or agent troubleshooting is relevant for Linux, provide Linux shell command equivalents (e.g., using openssl, update-ca-certificates, systemctl) alongside Windows commands.
- Include cross-platform notes or links to Linux-specific documentation for Azure Arc-enabled servers.
- Avoid using Windows-specific terminology (e.g., elevated command prompt, Windows file paths) without clarifying that these steps are for Windows only.
