Summary:
The documentation demonstrates a strong Windows bias. All examples and guidance assume SharePoint is running on Windows Server, with explicit references to Windows Server, SharePoint PowerShell cmdlets, and Windows-centric tools (e.g., DFSR, AzCopy). There are no examples or mentions of Linux-based SharePoint deployments or equivalent Linux tools/workflows. PowerShell is the only scripting environment referenced for automation, and all recovery steps are described in the context of Windows environments.
Recommendations:
- Include explicit statements about whether Linux-based SharePoint deployments are supported or not, and provide guidance for Linux if applicable.
- If SharePoint on Linux is not supported, clarify this early in the documentation to set expectations.
- Where possible, provide cross-platform alternatives for automation (e.g., Azure CLI, Bash scripts) alongside PowerShell examples.
- Mention Linux equivalents for tools like DFSR (e.g., rsync, lsyncd) and AzCopy (which is cross-platform, but show Linux usage).
- If any steps are Windows-only (such as using SharePoint PowerShell cmdlets), clearly indicate this and suggest alternative approaches for non-Windows environments if feasible.
- Ensure that any references to file paths, scripts, or administrative tools are inclusive of both Windows and Linux conventions where possible.
