Summary
The documentation page demonstrates a notable Windows bias. All administrative examples and instructions for enabling SMTP AUTH, configuring connectors, and managing Exchange Online are shown using the Microsoft 365 Admin Center and Exchange Online PowerShell, which are Windows-centric tools. There are no Linux or cross-platform alternatives or examples provided for key steps such as enabling SMTP AUTH or managing connectors. The documentation assumes access to Windows-based GUIs and tools, and does not mention Linux command-line alternatives or how to perform equivalent tasks on Linux or macOS. This creates friction for administrators working from non-Windows environments.
Recommendations
  • Include Linux/macOS-compatible instructions for managing Exchange Online, such as using cross-platform PowerShell (pwsh) or REST APIs.
  • Explicitly state whether steps can be performed from browsers on Linux/macOS, or provide CLI alternatives.
  • Add examples for common Linux tools (e.g., curl, openssl) for connectivity tests instead of only mentioning ping/telnet.
  • Reference cross-platform management options for Microsoft 365, such as the web portal's compatibility or PowerShell Core.
  • Clarify any platform requirements for SAP server-side configuration steps.
