windows_first
⚠️
missing_linux_example
⚠️
windows_tools
Summary:
The documentation is heavily biased toward Windows environments. All instructions, examples, and screenshots assume the use of Windows clients, Windows PowerShell (specifically version 5.1), and Windows-specific tools (e.g., Notepad, hosts file at C:\Windows\System32\Drivers\etc). There are no examples or guidance for Linux or macOS users, despite PowerShell Core being cross-platform. Steps for certificate management, environment setup, and connectivity verification are all Windows-centric, and there is no mention of equivalent Linux commands, file paths, or tools.
Recommendations:
- Add parallel instructions and examples for Linux (and optionally macOS) clients, including PowerShell Core usage.
- Provide Linux-specific commands for editing the hosts file (e.g., using nano or vi to edit /etc/hosts) and verifying DNS resolution (e.g., using ping, dig, or host).
- Include guidance on importing certificates into Linux certificate stores (e.g., update-ca-certificates, certutil, or relevant distro-specific tools).
- Clarify which steps are Windows-only and which are cross-platform, and provide clear alternatives where possible.
- Update screenshots and file paths to include Linux equivalents.
- Explicitly state PowerShell Core support and provide installation/usage instructions for non-Windows platforms.
