Summary
The documentation is heavily biased towards Windows environments. All troubleshooting steps, examples, and tool references are specific to Windows (e.g., MMC console, Internet Explorer, Task Scheduler, Registry, Device Manager, vssadmin, PowerShell). There are no Linux equivalents or examples, and the documentation does not mention Linux support or alternative procedures for non-Windows systems. The use of Windows-specific tools and terminology is pervasive throughout the document.
Recommendations
  • Clarify in the introduction whether the MARS agent is Windows-only, or provide equivalent troubleshooting steps for Linux if supported.
  • Add Linux-specific troubleshooting sections if the agent supports Linux, including commands, log locations, and common issues.
  • Provide examples using Linux tools (e.g., systemctl, journalctl, cron, bash scripts) alongside Windows tools.
  • Replace or supplement references to Internet Explorer, Task Scheduler, Registry, and MMC console with cross-platform alternatives or note their Windows specificity.
  • Include PowerShell alternatives for Linux (such as Bash or Azure CLI) where applicable.
  • Explicitly state OS requirements and limitations at the top of the documentation.
