Summary
The documentation is heavily Windows-centric, with all troubleshooting steps, examples, and screenshots using Windows tools (net use, Event Viewer, Local Security Policy, Registry Editor). There are no Linux or macOS equivalents provided for connecting to SMB shares, checking logs, or adjusting authentication settings. Windows terminology and workflows are used exclusively, which may leave Linux/macOS users without clear guidance.
Recommendations
- Add Linux/macOS SMB connection examples (e.g., using smbclient or mount.cifs).
- Include troubleshooting steps for Linux/macOS, such as checking syslog, dmesg, or Samba logs.
- Document how to adjust SMB authentication settings on Linux (e.g., via smb.conf).
- Provide parity in error messages and resolution steps for non-Windows platforms.
- Clearly indicate which steps are Windows-specific and offer alternatives for other OSes.
