Summary:
The documentation demonstrates a Windows bias by exclusively describing deployment and configuration steps for a Windows Server-based configuration server. All instructions, screenshots, and file paths (e.g., C:\Temp\ASRSetup) are Windows-specific. There are no Linux-based deployment options, examples, or guidance, despite the fact that VMware environments can support both Windows and Linux VMs. The documentation assumes the configuration server VM runs Windows Server 2016, and all tooling and manual steps (such as MySQL installation) are described only for Windows environments.
Recommendations:
- Provide explicit guidance or clarify whether a Linux-based configuration server is supported or not. If supported, add parallel Linux deployment instructions.
- Include Linux-specific examples for steps such as credential entry, MySQL installation, and file paths.
- If only Windows is supported for the configuration server, state this clearly at the beginning of the documentation to set expectations for Linux users.
- Wherever possible, mention both Windows and Linux procedures for tasks like mobility service installation on source VMs.
- Add troubleshooting and FAQ entries relevant to Linux environments if supported.
