Summary
The documentation is heavily focused on Windows Server 2012/2012 R2, as the ESU program and Azure Arc onboarding are described exclusively for Windows environments. All examples, tools, and deployment options (e.g., Group Policy, Configuration Manager, SCVMM) are Windows-centric, with no mention of Linux or macOS equivalents or scenarios. There are no Linux-specific onboarding instructions, examples, or troubleshooting notes, and Windows tools and patterns are referenced without alternatives.
Recommendations
- Explicitly state that the ESU program described is only for Windows Server 2012/2012 R2, and clarify if Linux/macOS servers are out of scope.
- If Azure Arc onboarding is supported for Linux servers (even if not for ESUs), provide parallel examples or links for Linux onboarding and management.
- Where Windows tools (e.g., Group Policy, Configuration Manager) are mentioned, note their Windows specificity and suggest Linux alternatives for general Azure Arc onboarding if available.
- Add a section or note addressing Linux/macOS users, clarifying what is and isn't supported, and linking to relevant Linux documentation if applicable.
- For certificate installation and agent deployment, provide Linux command-line examples or reference Linux documentation if those scenarios are supported.
