Summary
The documentation shows a clear Windows bias: SCVMM is a Windows-only technology, but the instructions and tooling (such as the deboarding script) are exclusively for Windows/PowerShell. The deboarding script is only provided as a PowerShell (.ps1) file, with no Linux or cross-platform alternative. Script execution instructions and examples are Windows/PowerShell-centric, and there is no mention of Linux equivalents for SCVMM management or resource removal. While uninstall instructions for the Azure Connected Machine agent include both Windows and Linux, all other operational steps and examples focus solely on Windows environments.
Recommendations
- Provide a cross-platform (e.g., Bash or Python) deboarding script for Linux environments, or document manual REST API or CLI steps for resource removal that can be run from Linux.
- Clarify that SCVMM is Windows-only, but explicitly state what steps (if any) are relevant for Linux-based management servers or hybrid environments.
- Where PowerShell is used, offer Azure CLI or REST API alternatives that can be executed from Linux or macOS.
- Add guidance for environments where SCVMM-managed VMs are Linux-based, especially for resource bridge and agent removal steps.
- Ensure parity in example order and detail: present Linux instructions alongside Windows, not only for agent removal but for all steps where possible.
