Summary
The documentation is heavily oriented toward Windows Server, with all migration steps and tooling (notably Robocopy) described from a Windows perspective. Linux is only mentioned as the source, and there are no concrete Linux command examples or guidance for Linux-native tools. The migration process assumes and requires a Windows Server as an intermediary, and Windows tools and patterns are presented exclusively and in detail, while Linux alternatives are only referenced in passing.
Recommendations
- Provide concrete Linux command examples (e.g., using rsync, cp, or scp) for the initial data copy from Linux to Windows, especially for scenarios where Samba is not used.
- Include a section comparing Windows and Linux copy tools, outlining their fidelity and limitations, and when each is appropriate.
- Offer guidance for Linux administrators on preparing data for migration, including permissions, metadata preservation, and potential pitfalls.
- Clarify the process for environments that do not use Samba or SMB on Linux, with step-by-step instructions for copying data directly from Linux file systems to Windows Server.
- Balance the documentation by presenting Linux-native approaches before or alongside Windows-specific tools like Robocopy.
