Summary
The documentation is heavily focused on Windows Server environments, with all configuration steps, examples, and tooling (PowerShell cmdlets, netsh, .NET machine.config edits) being specific to Windows. There are no Linux equivalents or cross-platform guidance, and all instructions assume the use of Windows-native tools and patterns.
Recommendations
- Explicitly state Azure File Sync agent is Windows-only early in the document, if true, or clarify Linux support status.
- If Linux support exists or is planned, provide equivalent Linux configuration steps (e.g., proxy/firewall setup using iptables, ufw, curl, wget, environment variables, etc.).
- Offer cross-platform network connectivity test instructions (e.g., using curl, telnet, or other Linux tools).
- Reference Linux firewall and proxy configuration documentation where relevant.
- If PowerShell is required, mention PowerShell Core and its cross-platform capabilities, or alternatives for Linux.
- Provide a table or section comparing Windows and Linux setup steps for parity.
