Summary
The documentation is heavily focused on Windows environments, with all examples, tooling, and instructions referencing Windows Server, Windows DNS, and PowerShell. There are no Linux/macOS equivalents or guidance, and the use of DFS Namespaces is described exclusively as a Windows Server feature. All step-by-step instructions and screenshots are for Windows tools, and PowerShell is the only CLI shown. No mention is made of how Linux/macOS users might interact with DFS-N or Azure Files in this context.
Recommendations
- Clarify early in the documentation that DFS Namespaces is a Windows Server-only feature, and explicitly state platform limitations.
- If possible, provide guidance or alternatives for Linux/macOS environments, such as how to access Azure Files SMB shares directly from non-Windows clients, or mention NFS support where relevant.
- Include examples or references for mounting Azure Files SMB shares from Linux/macOS, and discuss any limitations or differences in namespace management.
- Add a section comparing DFS-N with cross-platform alternatives (if any), or link to documentation for Linux/macOS file share management.
- Reorder or balance examples so that Linux/macOS usage is addressed where feasible, or clarify why it is not.
