Summary
The documentation is strongly Windows-centric, with all migration steps requiring a Windows Server as an intermediary and exclusively referencing Windows tools (RoboCopy, Windows Server, DFS-Namespace, Active Directory). No Linux or macOS migration paths, tools, or examples are provided, and the workflow assumes Windows environments throughout.
Recommendations
  • Provide alternative migration workflows for Linux-based NAS appliances, such as using Linux SMB clients or rsync to migrate data directly to Azure File Shares.
  • Include examples using Linux command-line tools (e.g., smbclient, rsync, Azure CLI) for copying data from NAS to Azure.
  • Clarify whether Azure File Sync or Azure Storage Mover can be used without a Windows Server intermediary, and document any Linux-compatible approaches.
  • Add troubleshooting and cut-over guidance for non-Windows environments, including mapping Linux users/groups and permissions.
  • Present Windows and Linux/macOS examples side-by-side, or clearly indicate Windows-only requirements up front.
