Bias Analysis

Bias Types:
⚠️ windows_first
⚠️ windows_tools
⚠️ missing_linux_example
Summary:
The documentation demonstrates a Windows bias by defaulting to a Windows Server 2016 VM for the configuration server, requiring Windows activation, and providing detailed steps for Windows (such as administrator password setup). Linux is only mentioned briefly as an alternative for Mobility Service credentials, with no equivalent setup or activation instructions. There are no Linux-based examples or guidance for using a Linux-based configuration server, and the documentation assumes a Windows environment throughout the setup process.
Recommendations:
  • Provide explicit instructions and examples for setting up the configuration server on a Linux VM, if supported, or clarify if only Windows is supported.
  • Include Linux-specific steps for Mobility Service installation, activation, and troubleshooting, matching the detail given for Windows.
  • When referencing user accounts or permissions, provide parallel Linux commands and best practices (e.g., using sudo/root, managing SSH keys).
  • If Windows is a strict requirement for the configuration server, state this clearly at the beginning and explain why, but still offer Linux parity for all other steps where possible.
  • Ensure screenshots and UI walkthroughs do not assume only Windows environments, and add Linux-relevant visuals or notes where applicable.
