Summary
The documentation demonstrates a Windows bias by exclusively describing the configuration server VM as running Windows Server 2016, requiring Windows activation, and guiding users through a Windows installation experience. Linux is only mentioned briefly as an option for Mobility Service credentials, with no examples or guidance for Linux-based configuration servers. All setup and registration steps assume a Windows environment, and there are no Linux-specific instructions or parity in examples.
Recommendations
  • Provide explicit instructions for setting up the configuration server on a Linux VM, if supported, including prerequisites, installation, and registration steps.
  • Include Linux-specific examples for Mobility Service installation, user credential requirements, and troubleshooting.
  • Clarify whether the configuration server must run Windows, or if Linux is supported, and document both paths equally.
  • Ensure parity in screenshots, wizard steps, and command-line instructions for both Windows and Linux environments.
  • Add troubleshooting and FAQ sections for common Linux-specific issues encountered during setup and replication.
