Summary
The documentation demonstrates a Windows bias by exclusively referencing the use of a Windows-based configuration server tool (_cspsconfigtool.exe_) and instructing users to access it via a Desktop shortcut, which is a Windows UI pattern. There are no instructions or examples for performing these tasks on Linux-based configuration servers, nor is there mention of command-line alternatives or cross-platform tools. The documentation assumes the configuration server environment is Windows, omitting Linux parity.
Recommendations
  • Provide equivalent instructions for Linux-based configuration servers, including how to access and use the configuration server tool on Linux (if supported).
  • Mention whether the configuration server tool (_cspsconfigtool.exe_) is available or supported on Linux, and if not, clarify this limitation.
  • If only Windows is supported, explicitly state this early in the prerequisites section to set expectations.
  • Offer command-line alternatives (e.g., PowerShell, Bash, or CLI commands) for all major actions, ensuring cross-platform usability.
  • Avoid UI patterns that are exclusive to Windows (such as 'Desktop shortcut') or provide Linux equivalents (e.g., application menu, terminal launch).
