Summary
The documentation is heavily oriented toward Windows environments and tooling. All client-side configuration steps, prerequisites, and examples are Windows-specific, referencing Windows services, registry keys, Group Policy, Intune, and PowerShell. There are no instructions or examples for Linux or macOS clients, nor any mention of their support or limitations. Windows tools and patterns (e.g., File Explorer, icacls, ksetup, PowerShell cmdlets) are used exclusively, and Windows operating systems are listed as the only supported platforms for client access.
Recommendations
- Explicitly state whether Linux/macOS clients are supported for Microsoft Entra Kerberos authentication with Azure Files. If not supported, clarify this early in the documentation.
- If Linux/macOS support is possible, provide equivalent configuration instructions for those platforms, including Kerberos setup, mounting SMB shares, and troubleshooting.
- Include examples using Linux tools (e.g., smbclient, mount.cifs, kinit) and describe any required Kerberos configuration steps for non-Windows clients.
- Add a section detailing limitations or differences for Linux/macOS users, including any unsupported features or workarounds.
- Reorder or balance examples so that Windows and Linux/macOS instructions are presented with equal prominence where applicable.
