Summary
The documentation is heavily biased towards Windows environments, with exclusive use of PowerShell (specifically version 5.1, built into Windows), Windows-centric installation and usage instructions, and references to Windows Update and WSUS servers. There are no examples or instructions for running the tool on Linux or macOS, nor any mention of cross-platform compatibility or alternative usage patterns for non-Windows users.
Recommendations
  • Clarify whether the Azure Stack Network Readiness Checker tool can run on PowerShell Core (pwsh) on Linux/macOS, and if so, provide installation and usage instructions for those platforms.
  • Provide explicit Linux/macOS installation steps, including any prerequisites (e.g., PowerShell Core installation, required permissions, alternative log/report paths).
  • Include sample commands and output for Linux/macOS environments, demonstrating parity with Windows instructions.
  • If the tool is Windows-only, clearly state this limitation at the beginning of the documentation and suggest alternative methods for Linux/macOS users to check network readiness.
  • Avoid using Windows-specific paths (e.g., C:\Users\...) in generic instructions, or provide platform-specific alternatives.
