Summary
The documentation is heavily biased towards Windows environments. All examples, prerequisites, and operational steps assume the use of Windows Server (2012 R2/2016), PowerShell, and Windows-specific tools and frameworks (.NET Framework, Visual C++ Redistributable). There are no Linux equivalents or cross-platform instructions, and the tool appears to be designed exclusively for Windows, with no mention of Linux support or alternative workflows.
Recommendations
  • Clearly state in the introduction that the Deployment Planner tool is Windows-only, if that is the case. If not, provide explicit instructions for Linux environments.
  • If possible, develop and document a cross-platform version of the Deployment Planner tool that can run on Linux or macOS, or provide a containerized version.
  • Provide equivalent command-line examples for Linux (e.g., using SSH, OpenSSL, or other cross-platform tools) where possible.
  • If PowerShell is required, mention PowerShell Core (pwsh) and its cross-platform capabilities, and provide instructions for installing and running the tool on Linux.
  • List any limitations or lack of support for non-Windows environments explicitly in the prerequisites section.
  • For report generation, suggest open-source alternatives to Microsoft Excel (such as LibreOffice Calc) or provide CSV/JSON output options.
