Summary
The documentation exclusively provides instructions and examples for installing the Azure File Sync agent on Windows, using Windows-specific tools (msiexec) and conventions (unattend answer file, %SYSTEMDRIVE%, Windows file paths). There are no references to Linux equivalents, nor any mention of Linux support or alternative installation methods for non-Windows platforms.
Recommendations
- Clarify platform support: Explicitly state whether Azure File Sync agent is Windows-only or if Linux is supported.
- If Linux is supported, provide equivalent silent installation instructions for Linux, including command-line examples (e.g., using dpkg, rpm, or other relevant package managers).
- Include Linux-specific configuration file examples and paths.
- If Linux is not supported, add a clear note indicating that the agent is only available for Windows, to avoid confusion for cross-platform administrators.
