Summary
The documentation provides both Windows and Linux onboarding instructions for Azure Arc-enabled servers. However, Windows installation steps and examples are presented before Linux, and Windows-specific tooling (msiexec, PowerShell) is described in detail. The scripted method for Windows explicitly requires PowerShell, while the Linux equivalent uses shell scripts. Windows command-line options and troubleshooting paths are more thoroughly documented, with references to Windows Installer and PowerShell environment variable management. Linux instructions are present and functional, but Windows examples and tools are given more prominence and detail.
Recommendations
  • Present Windows and Linux installation instructions in parallel sections or alternate their order to avoid implicit prioritization.
  • Provide equivalent detail for Linux installation, including troubleshooting steps, log locations, and command-line options for package managers (e.g., apt, yum).
  • Include Linux-specific proxy configuration examples (e.g., environment variables, systemd service overrides) alongside Windows PowerShell examples.
  • Reference Linux package management documentation for users unfamiliar with .DEB/.RPM installation.
  • Clarify that both Windows and Linux onboarding are equally supported and provide links to OS-specific guides where appropriate.
