Summary
The documentation exhibits a notable Windows bias. Many troubleshooting steps and remediation actions are described primarily or exclusively in terms of Windows tools (e.g., PowerShell, WMI, Windows environment variables, Windows-specific UI paths). PowerShell commands are used for both validation and remediation, with only minimal Linux command examples (often just 'ls'). Linux troubleshooting is generally less detailed, and Linux-specific error remediation is sparse or absent. In several places, Windows instructions or tools are mentioned before Linux equivalents, and some Linux steps are only described in the context of using Windows to connect to Linux (e.g., installing OpenSSH on Windows). Web app discovery errors are exclusively focused on IIS/Windows, with no mention of Linux web servers.
Recommendations
  • Provide equivalent Linux troubleshooting steps and commands for each remediation, not just 'ls' but also for validating connectivity, permissions, and service status.
  • Include Linux-native command examples (e.g., systemctl, journalctl, netstat, ss, checking SSH configuration) alongside PowerShell/WMI for Windows.
  • For error codes and troubleshooting tables, ensure Linux-specific causes and actions are included where applicable.
  • For web app discovery, mention support (or lack thereof) for Linux web servers (e.g., Apache, Nginx) and provide relevant troubleshooting steps if supported.
  • Avoid assuming the user is operating from a Windows environment; include instructions for running commands directly on Linux servers.
  • When listing steps for both OSes, alternate or parallelize the instructions rather than always listing Windows first.
