Summary:
The documentation exclusively references Windows Server as the supported operating system for the replication appliance, with all configuration, folder paths, and group policy settings specific to Windows. There are no mentions of Linux support, Linux equivalents, or cross-platform considerations. All antivirus exclusions and operational details are Windows-centric, and Windows administrative tools and patterns (e.g., group policies, IIS, Windows folder paths) are referenced without Linux alternatives.
Recommendations:
- Explicitly state if Linux-based appliances are unsupported; if Linux is supported, add equivalent requirements, folder paths, and configuration steps for Linux systems.
- Provide Linux-specific examples for antivirus exclusions, such as typical installation paths and exclusion syntax for common Linux antivirus solutions.
- If only Windows is supported, clarify this early in the documentation to set expectations for non-Windows users.
- If future support for Linux is planned, include a roadmap or note for cross-platform parity.
- Where possible, use neutral language (e.g., 'the appliance OS must be Windows Server 2022') and avoid implying Windows is the only platform unless that is a hard requirement.
