Bias Analysis

Bias Types:
⚠️ powershell_heavy
⚠️ windows_tools
⚠️ missing_linux_example
⚠️ windows_first
Summary:
The documentation demonstrates a strong Windows bias. All command-line examples use Windows-specific tools (cmd.exe, PowerShell), Windows environment variables (e.g., %PROGRAMDATA%), and Windows file paths (C:\...). There are no Linux or cross-platform equivalents provided, even though VMware and physical servers may run Linux. Anti-virus exclusions and process server management instructions are exclusively Windows-centric.
Recommendations:
  • Provide equivalent Linux command-line instructions for all management tasks, including process server registration, proxy configuration, and service management.
  • Document Linux file paths and environment variables alongside Windows ones (e.g., /var/opt/microsoft/ASR/Agent).
  • Include anti-virus exclusion paths for Linux (e.g., /opt/microsoft/ASR/Agent).
  • Clarify OS support for process server components and explicitly state if certain features are Windows-only.
  • When showing commands, present both Windows and Linux examples side by side.
  • Avoid assuming the administrator is using Windows by default; acknowledge mixed-OS environments.
