Summary
The documentation is heavily oriented toward Windows and PowerShell, with most troubleshooting steps, examples, and cmdlets focused on Windows environments. PowerShell DSC and related modules are referenced throughout, and Windows-specific tools (such as w32tm and PowerShell certificate management) are used exclusively in examples. Linux troubleshooting is only mentioned in a single scenario, with minimal detail and no parity in examples or step-by-step guidance.
Recommendations
- Provide Linux-specific troubleshooting steps and examples for each scenario, especially for log collection, agent registration, and certificate management.
- Include Bash or shell command equivalents alongside PowerShell commands where applicable.
- Reference Linux DSC extension documentation and tools (such as OMI, omiserver logs, or systemd journal) in relevant sections.
- Ensure that Linux onboarding and error resolution steps are given equal prominence and detail as Windows steps.
- Add guidance for managing certificates and DSC configuration files on Linux nodes.
- Where PowerShell cmdlets are referenced, clarify if/how they apply to Linux, or provide alternatives.
