Summary
The documentation is heavily Windows-centric, focusing almost exclusively on Windows Server and Windows-native tools (notably Robocopy) for the migration process. Linux is only mentioned as the source system, with no Linux-native migration examples or detailed guidance for Linux administrators. The use of Robocopy is presented as the primary (and in practice, only) migration tool, with only a brief mention that 'Linux copy tools' could be used, but without any examples, recommendations, or parity in guidance. All configuration, troubleshooting, and operational steps are described from a Windows perspective, and there is no step-by-step Linux-side guidance or tool equivalency.
Recommendations
  • Provide concrete Linux-native migration examples, such as using rsync or scp, for copying data from Linux to Windows Server.
  • Include a section comparing Robocopy with Linux tools (e.g., rsync, cp, tar), outlining pros, cons, and fidelity considerations.
  • Offer step-by-step instructions for Linux administrators, including how to mount Windows shares from Linux and perform the migration using Linux commands.
  • Add troubleshooting tips and best practices for Linux-to-Windows migrations, including permission and ACL mapping.
  • Ensure that Linux tools and approaches are mentioned before or alongside Windows tools, not only as an afterthought.
  • Consider providing sample scripts or command lines for both Linux and Windows environments to achieve parity.
