Summary
The documentation exhibits Windows bias by exclusively referencing Windows-centric tools and defaults, such as Windows Server Update Services (WSUS) and time.windows.com as the default NTP server. There are no mentions of Linux equivalents (e.g., Linux update mirrors, chrony/ntpd configuration), nor are Linux/macOS-specific examples or considerations provided. The update section only discusses WSUS and Microsoft Update, omitting how Linux-based environments might manage updates. The time configuration defaults to a Microsoft NTP server and does not mention common public NTP servers or Linux best practices.
Recommendations
  • Include examples and guidance for configuring updates using Linux-based update servers or repositories, if supported.
  • Mention public NTP servers (e.g., pool.ntp.org) as alternatives to time.windows.com, and provide instructions for configuring time synchronization using Linux/macOS tools (e.g., chrony, ntpd).
  • Clarify whether non-Windows environments are supported for update and time configuration, and provide parity in documentation for those platforms.
  • If device management is possible via Linux/macOS, add relevant screenshots and step-by-step instructions.
  • List both Windows and Linux/macOS options side-by-side when discussing update and time server configuration.
