Summary
The documentation is heavily biased toward Windows environments. All examples, configuration steps, and troubleshooting instructions are provided exclusively for Windows Server, using PowerShell, Windows-specific tools (netsh, WinHTTP), and Windows file paths. There is no mention of Linux support, nor are any Linux equivalents or cross-platform instructions provided.
Recommendations
- Clarify whether Azure File Sync is supported only on Windows Server, or explicitly state platform limitations at the beginning of the document.
- If Linux support exists or is planned, add equivalent instructions for proxy and firewall configuration on Linux (e.g., using iptables, firewalld, curl, wget, or Linux-based proxy settings).
- Provide cross-platform examples for network connectivity testing, such as using curl, wget, or other Linux-native tools.
- Include troubleshooting steps for Linux environments, if applicable.
- Where PowerShell is used, offer Azure CLI or REST API alternatives that can run on Linux and macOS.
- Add a section comparing Windows and Linux setup steps, or link to Linux-specific documentation if available.
