Summary
The documentation demonstrates a subtle Windows bias by referencing tools and workflows that are more familiar or accessible to Windows users (such as SQLCMD and the Azure Portal), and by omitting explicit Linux or cross-platform command-line examples. While Azure CLI is used (which is cross-platform), there are no Linux-specific instructions or examples, and the SQL tool example assumes the use of SQLCMD, which is less common on Linux. There is also a tendency to mention PowerShell as an alternative, but not to provide Bash or Linux-native alternatives.
Recommendations
- Explicitly mention that Azure CLI and SQLCMD are available on Linux, macOS, and Windows, and provide installation links or notes for non-Windows users.
- Include example commands for common Linux shells (e.g., Bash) where appropriate, especially for SQLCMD usage.
- When referencing PowerShell, also reference Bash or other Linux-native shells, and provide equivalent commands.
- Consider including screenshots or instructions for both Windows and Linux environments when demonstrating portal or CLI workflows.
- Add a note or section addressing any differences or prerequisites for Linux/macOS users, such as package installation or environment setup.

> To see the list of all user principal names in Microsoft Entra ID, run `az ad user list --query [].userPrincipalName`.

1. Add this Microsoft Entra user as an Active Directory admin using [`az sql server ad-admin create`](/cli/azure/sql/server/ad-admin#az-sql-server-ad-admin-create) command in the Cloud Shell. In the following command, replace *\<server-name>* with the server name (without the `.database.windows.net` suffix).
