Summary
The documentation consistently assumes the Azure Migrate appliance is a Windows system. Troubleshooting steps rely heavily on Windows-specific tools (PowerShell, MMC snap-in, services.msc, command prompt), and all command-line examples use PowerShell or Windows command syntax. There are no Linux/macOS equivalents or guidance for users running the appliance on non-Windows platforms, nor is there mention of cross-platform alternatives for key troubleshooting actions.
Recommendations
  • Provide Linux/macOS equivalents for all PowerShell and Windows command prompt examples (e.g., using bash, curl, or relevant Linux utilities).
  • Include instructions for checking and managing services on Linux (e.g., using systemctl or service commands) alongside Windows steps.
  • Mention cross-platform tools where possible (e.g., azcopy is available for Linux/macOS; show usage examples for those platforms).
  • Clarify whether the Azure Migrate appliance must be Windows-only, or update documentation to reflect support for Linux-based appliances if applicable.
  • Reorder examples so that cross-platform or OS-neutral steps appear before Windows-specific instructions.
  • Avoid assuming remote desktop access is only via Windows; mention SSH for Linux appliances.
