Summary
The documentation is heavily focused on PowerShell for all command-line examples and configuration steps, with no mention of Linux shell equivalents or cross-platform CLI tools. All scripting and automation guidance is provided using PowerShell cmdlets, which are native to Windows environments. There is no discussion of how to perform these tasks on Linux servers, nor are there Bash, Azure CLI, or cross-platform instructions. The prerequisites and agent installation steps also implicitly assume a Windows environment.
Recommendations
- Add Azure CLI examples for all configuration and verification steps, as Azure CLI is cross-platform and works on both Linux and Windows.
- Explicitly state whether the Azure File Sync agent and managed identity features are supported on Linux servers, or clarify that they are Windows-only if that is the case.
- If Linux is supported, provide Bash or shell script equivalents for PowerShell commands.
- Include guidance for managing Azure Arc-enabled Linux servers, if applicable, and how to enable managed identities on those.
- Mention any platform-specific limitations or requirements up front, so Linux administrators know what is or isn't possible.
