Summary
The documentation is notably Windows-focused: the configuration server is deployed as a Windows Server 2016 VM, and all setup, registration, and management instructions assume a Windows environment. Steps such as MySQL installation reference Windows file paths (C:\Temp\ASRSetup) and do not provide Linux alternatives. There are no Linux/macOS examples or instructions, and the configuration server itself appears to require Windows, creating friction for Linux-centric administrators.
Recommendations
  • Explicitly state that the configuration server must run Windows Server, and clarify that Linux/macOS deployment is not supported if that is the case.
  • If possible, provide guidance for Linux administrators (e.g., remote management from Linux, or clarify which steps can be performed from non-Windows systems).
  • Where possible, offer cross-platform alternatives for tasks such as MySQL installation, or clarify that only Windows is supported.
  • Add a note early in the documentation indicating the Windows-only nature of the configuration server deployment to set expectations for non-Windows users.
