Summary:
The documentation demonstrates a strong Windows bias. It repeatedly emphasizes that Data Box is a Windows-based device, only references Windows event providers and event IDs, and mentions Windows-specific tools and patterns (e.g., BitLocker, remote PowerShell). There are no examples or references to Linux tools, logs, or access patterns, nor any guidance for Linux users.
Recommendations:
- Clarify early in the documentation that Data Box devices run Windows and explain any implications for users coming from Linux environments.
- If Data Box supports Linux-based access (e.g., via SMB/NFS, or log retrieval from Linux clients), provide explicit instructions and examples for Linux users.
- Include a section or FAQ addressing common Linux user concerns, such as how to interact with audit logs or device shares from Linux systems.
- Where possible, mention cross-platform tools or interfaces (e.g., REST APIs, Azure CLI) that can be used from both Windows and Linux to interact with Data Box or retrieve logs.
- If audit logs are only accessible via Microsoft support, clarify whether the logs are provided in a format readable on Linux systems, and offer guidance for Linux users on how to interpret or process these logs.
