Summary
The documentation is heavily Windows-centric, with all client configuration, prerequisites, and permission management steps referencing Windows operating systems, tools, and patterns (such as PowerShell, Windows File Explorer, Group Policy, Intune, registry edits, and Windows-specific commands). No Linux or macOS client scenarios, tools, or equivalents are mentioned, and all examples and instructions assume a Windows environment. This creates friction for non-Windows users seeking to use Azure Files with Entra Kerberos authentication.
Recommendations
- Explicitly state in the prerequisites and introduction whether Linux/macOS clients are supported or not for Microsoft Entra Kerberos authentication with Azure Files.
- If Linux/macOS support is possible, provide equivalent instructions for configuring Kerberos ticket retrieval, mounting SMB shares, and managing permissions on those platforms.
- If Linux/macOS support is not available, clarify this limitation early in the documentation to set expectations for cross-platform users.
- Where possible, reference cross-platform tools (such as Azure CLI) and clarify any OS-specific requirements or limitations.
- Consider adding a section on alternative approaches for non-Windows clients, or link to relevant documentation.
