Summary
The documentation demonstrates a Windows bias in several ways: Windows file paths, tools, and troubleshooting steps are frequently mentioned first or exclusively, such as referencing C:\ProgramData, using Windows-specific tools like PsExec and Internet Explorer, and providing more detailed instructions for Windows scenarios. Some sections lack Linux equivalents or provide less detail for Linux, and Windows command-line tools and patterns are prioritized over Linux alternatives.
Recommendations
  • Ensure that Linux examples are provided wherever Windows examples are given, with equal detail and clarity.
  • When referencing file paths or logs, include both Windows and Linux locations side by side.
  • List Linux commands and troubleshooting steps before or alongside Windows ones, not always after.
  • Replace or supplement Windows-only tools (e.g., PsExec, Internet Explorer) with Linux equivalents (e.g., sudo, appropriate browsers, or command-line proxy configuration).
  • For sections like 'vCenter discovery failures' and 'Remove the stale entries for protected items', provide explicit Linux instructions or clarify if the steps are Windows-only.
  • Where possible, use cross-platform language and avoid assuming the user is on Windows (e.g., avoid 'Open an elevated command prompt' without mentioning the Linux equivalent).
