Summary
The documentation is heavily biased toward Windows environments. All troubleshooting steps, error messages, and examples reference Windows tools (e.g., net use, Event Viewer, Local Security Policy, Registry Editor) and Windows-specific concepts (Group Policy, Active Directory OUs, GPOs). There are no Linux or macOS equivalents provided for connecting to SMB shares, diagnosing issues, or adjusting authentication settings. The documentation assumes the user is on Windows and does not address cross-platform scenarios.
Recommendations
  • Add Linux and macOS examples for connecting to SMB shares (e.g., using smbclient or mount.cifs).
  • Include troubleshooting steps for common Linux SMB errors and how to view relevant logs (e.g., dmesg, journalctl, /var/log/syslog, or /var/log/samba).
  • Document how to adjust SMB authentication settings on Linux (e.g., editing /etc/samba/smb.conf or mount options for NTLMv2).
  • Mention Linux equivalents for Windows tools (e.g., Event Viewer → journalctl/log files, net use → smbclient/mount.cifs).
  • Reorganize sections to present both Windows and Linux solutions in parallel, or clearly indicate which steps are OS-specific.
  • Clarify that the documentation is currently Windows-centric and provide links to cross-platform SMB troubleshooting resources if available.
