Summary
The documentation demonstrates a notable Windows bias. Troubleshooting steps, error remediations, and validation commands are predominantly presented using Windows tools and PowerShell, with Linux alternatives either missing, less detailed, or presented after Windows instructions. Several remediation steps and error codes focus on Windows-specific technologies (e.g., WinRM, WMI, UAC, PowerShell), and Linux guidance is often limited to generic SSH or 'ls' commands. In some sections, Linux users are required to use Windows tools (e.g., PowerShell or OpenSSH installed via Windows) to connect to Linux servers, rather than providing native Linux command-line examples.
Recommendations
  • Provide Linux-native command-line examples (e.g., using SSH, bash, or relevant Linux utilities) alongside or before Windows/PowerShell examples.
  • For each troubleshooting step involving PowerShell or Windows tools, include equivalent Linux commands (e.g., using 'ssh', 'systemctl', 'journalctl', or other standard Linux utilities).
  • Clarify when a step is Windows-only and offer alternative guidance for Linux users.
  • Expand Linux error remediation guidance to match the detail and specificity given to Windows.
  • Avoid requiring Linux users to install or use Windows tools (such as PowerShell or OpenSSH via Windows) for tasks that can be accomplished natively on Linux.
