Summary
The documentation is heavily oriented toward Windows environments, with all command-line examples provided in PowerShell and references to Windows-centric tools (Azure File Sync agent, Az.StorageSync PowerShell module). There are no Linux CLI (e.g., Bash, Azure CLI) examples, nor any mention of Linux-based registered servers or parity for configuring managed identities on non-Windows platforms. The documentation assumes the use of Windows tooling and patterns throughout, and does not address Linux scenarios or provide guidance for Linux administrators.
Recommendations
- Add Azure CLI (az) examples for all PowerShell commands, ensuring Linux and macOS users can follow equivalent steps.
- Clarify whether Azure File Sync supports Linux-based registered servers, and if so, provide explicit instructions for configuring managed identities on those platforms.
- Include troubleshooting and verification steps for Linux environments, such as checking managed identity status using Azure CLI or REST API.
- Mention any platform limitations or differences up front, so Linux users know whether the instructions apply to them.
- Balance the documentation by presenting Windows and Linux options side-by-side, rather than focusing solely on Windows/PowerShell.
