Summary
The documentation demonstrates a moderate Windows bias. Troubleshooting steps and examples often reference Windows tools (Control Panel, admin command prompt, PowerShell, Notepad, registry editor) and Windows-specific commands (w32tm, winrm, net stop/start, editing C:\Windows\System32\Drivers\etc\hosts) before or instead of Linux equivalents. In several sections, remediation steps for Windows are detailed, while Linux instructions are either brief, appear later, or are missing entirely. PowerShell scripts are provided for Windows, but comparable Linux scripts are not. Some troubleshooting for physical servers does include Linux steps, but overall, Windows-centric patterns dominate.
Recommendations
- Provide Linux-first or side-by-side examples for all troubleshooting steps, especially where only Windows tools or commands are mentioned.
- Include Linux equivalents for commands such as time synchronization, service management, and host file editing (e.g., using timedatectl, systemctl, /etc/hosts).
- Add Bash or shell script examples for Linux where PowerShell scripts are provided for Windows.
- Reference Linux configuration tools (e.g., systemd, crontab, nano/vi) alongside Windows tools like Control Panel and Notepad.
- Ensure troubleshooting steps for Linux are as detailed as those for Windows, including error codes, log locations, and common issues.
