Summary
The documentation demonstrates a Windows bias by exclusively referencing Windows-based update mechanisms (Microsoft Update server, Windows Server Update Services/WSUS), defaulting to time.windows.com as the NTP server, and omitting any mention of Linux equivalents or cross-platform alternatives. There are no examples or guidance for Linux-based update servers (such as apt/yum repositories or Linux NTP defaults), nor is there any mention of Linux administration tools or patterns.
Recommendations
  • Include examples or references for configuring update servers using Linux-based solutions (e.g., apt, yum, or local Linux update mirrors) if supported by the device.
  • Mention alternative, platform-neutral NTP servers (e.g., pool.ntp.org) alongside time.windows.com.
  • Clarify whether the device supports integration with non-Windows update infrastructures, and provide guidance if so.
  • Avoid defaulting to Windows-centric terminology and tools; provide parity for Linux environments where possible.
  • If the device is Windows-only, explicitly state this limitation to set expectations for Linux administrators.
