Summary
The documentation demonstrates a moderate Windows bias. Windows terminology, tools, and patterns (such as guest user accounts, local admin privileges, File Server role, IIS/ASP.NET, and SCCM) are referenced more frequently and in greater detail than Linux equivalents. Windows authentication and credential patterns are described first and in more depth, while Linux instructions are less explicit. Some features (e.g., File Server discovery) are Windows-only, and Linux-specific examples or guidance are sparse or missing.
Recommendations
- Provide explicit Linux credential setup instructions and examples, including supported authentication methods and required permissions.
- Clarify Linux support for features like file server discovery, or explicitly state limitations and alternatives (e.g., Samba/NFS discovery for Linux).
- Include Linux-first or Linux-parity examples for credential provisioning, software inventory, and role/feature discovery.
- Balance references to Windows tools (e.g., SCCM, IIS) with Linux equivalents (e.g., Samba, Apache, Nginx, package managers).
- Add troubleshooting guidance for Linux-specific discovery issues.
- Clearly indicate which features are Windows-only and suggest workarounds or alternatives for Linux users.
