Summary
The documentation is heavily biased towards Windows environments. All examples and instructions assume the use of Windows-only tools such as SQL Server Management Studio (SSMS), dtutil, cmdkey, and net use. Command-line examples are given in Windows batch syntax, and there is no mention of Linux or cross-platform alternatives. The documentation does not address how to perform these tasks from Linux or macOS, nor does it mention whether the tools are available or supported on those platforms.
Recommendations
  • Provide equivalent instructions and examples for Linux environments, including how to connect to Azure Files (e.g., using smbclient or mount.cifs) and how to use dtutil if available, or alternatives if not.
  • Clarify whether SSMS and dtutil are available or supported on Linux (e.g., via Azure Data Studio, Docker, or Wine), and provide guidance for non-Windows users.
  • Include PowerShell Core (cross-platform) or Azure CLI examples where possible, instead of only Windows batch commands.
  • Explicitly state any platform limitations and suggest workarounds or alternatives for Linux/macOS users.
  • Consider referencing Azure Data Studio or other cross-platform tools for package management, if supported.

Flagged Code Snippets

REM Persist the access credentials for Azure Files on your local machine
cmdkey /ADD:YourStorageAccountName.file.core.windows.net /USER:azure\YourStorageAccountName /PASS:YourStorageAccountKey

REM Connect Azure Files to a drive on your local machine
net use Z: \\YourStorageAccountName.file.core.windows.net\YourFileShare /PERSISTENT:Yes

REM Go to a local folder where you store your packages
cd YourLocalDrive:\...\YourPackageFolder

REM Run dtutil in a loop to deploy your packages from the local folder into Azure Files while switching their protection level
