Summary
The documentation page demonstrates a Windows bias in several areas. PowerShell is presented as the only command-line method for appliance setup, with no equivalent Linux shell or cross-platform scripting examples. Registry and group policy checks are exclusively Windows-specific, and the troubleshooting/configuration steps reference Windows tools and patterns (e.g., registry keys, group policies, PowerShell execution policies). Linux is only mentioned in the context of credential requirements for source VMs, not for appliance deployment or management. There are no bash, shell, or Linux-native deployment instructions, and Windows-centric terminology and tooling are used throughout.
Recommendations
  • Provide Linux-based deployment instructions for the replication appliance, including bash or shell script equivalents to the PowerShell setup.
  • Include examples for Linux-based management and troubleshooting, such as checking prerequisites, proxy configuration, and agent installation.
  • Reference Linux system policies and configuration files (e.g., systemd, sudoers, firewall rules) alongside Windows registry/group policy checks.
  • Clarify platform requirements and explicitly state if the appliance must run on Windows, or provide guidance for Linux-based alternatives if supported.
  • Ensure parity in examples and screenshots for both Windows and Linux environments where applicable.
