Summary
The documentation exclusively describes silent installation of the Azure File Sync agent using Windows-specific tools (msiexec), examples, and file paths. All instructions, examples, and parameters are tailored for Windows environments, with no mention of Linux equivalents, cross-platform considerations, or alternative methods for non-Windows systems.
Recommendations
- Clarify in the introduction that Azure File Sync agent is only available for Windows, if that is the case. If Linux support exists or is planned, provide equivalent installation instructions for Linux (e.g., using .deb/.rpm packages, shell scripts, or relevant Linux tools).
- If the agent is Windows-only, explicitly state this limitation to avoid confusion for Linux administrators.
- Where possible, offer cross-platform guidance or links to related Linux file sync solutions in Azure.
- Avoid using Windows-specific paths and tools (like msiexec, %SYSTEMDRIVE%) without noting their platform specificity.
