Summary
The documentation demonstrates a strong Windows bias: troubleshooting steps and commands are almost exclusively presented using Windows tools (PowerShell, Command Prompt, MMC snap-in, services.msc), and instructions assume the Azure Migrate appliance is accessed via Windows Remote Desktop. There are no Linux shell or cross-platform alternatives provided, and all example commands (e.g., nslookup, Test-NetConnection, Net Start/Stop, azcopy usage, editing hosts file) are given in Windows-centric syntax. Linux-based administration is not addressed.
Recommendations
  • Provide Linux equivalents for all troubleshooting steps, including shell commands (e.g., use 'systemctl' or 'service' for service management, 'nc' or 'telnet' for connectivity tests, 'dig' for DNS resolution, and instructions for editing /etc/hosts).
  • Clarify whether the Azure Migrate appliance can be deployed on Linux, and if so, include Linux-specific guidance.
  • Where PowerShell is used, offer Bash or shell alternatives for scripting and automation.
  • Mention cross-platform tools (e.g., azcopy is available for Linux; show Linux installation and usage).
  • Avoid assuming Remote Desktop or MMC snap-in access; suggest SSH and Linux-native tools where applicable.
  • Explicitly state OS requirements and provide parity in troubleshooting instructions for both Windows and Linux environments.
