Summary
The documentation page exhibits a moderate Windows bias. Windows scenarios and tools (PowerShell, registry edits, Set-SmbClientConfiguration) are mentioned first and in greater detail, especially for advanced SMB features and security configuration. PowerShell is the primary scripting example, and Windows-specific troubleshooting steps are provided, while equivalent Linux/macOS guidance is missing. There are no examples for configuring SMB Multichannel or SMB security settings on Linux/macOS clients, nor discussion of Linux-specific SMB client behaviors or limitations.
Recommendations
- Add Linux and macOS client configuration examples for SMB Multichannel and SMB security settings, including how to select encryption ciphers and protocol versions using smb.conf or mount options.
- Include troubleshooting steps for older Linux distributions or Samba versions, analogous to the Windows registry/patch guidance.
- Discuss Linux/macOS SMB client compatibility, including minimum Samba versions required for features like SMB Multichannel and encryption.
- Present cross-platform examples in parallel (Windows, Linux, macOS) rather than Windows-first.
- Reference Linux/macOS tools (e.g., smbclient, mount.cifs, Samba configuration) where PowerShell or Windows tools are used.
