Summary
The documentation is heavily biased towards Windows environments. All instructions, examples, and tooling (installer script, configuration, validation, and file paths) are exclusively for Windows Server (2019/2022) and PowerShell. There is no mention of Linux or macOS support, nor are alternative instructions or parity examples provided for non-Windows platforms. Windows-specific tools (CertUtil, PowerShell, IIS, registry edits) are required, and the appliance must be installed on Windows Server. This creates a significant barrier for Linux/macOS users.
Recommendations
- Explicitly state Windows-only support at the beginning of the documentation if Linux/macOS are not supported.
- If possible, provide a Linux-based installer and instructions for deploying the appliance on Linux servers.
- Offer parity examples for common tasks (e.g., checksum validation, script execution) using Linux tools (e.g., sha256sum, bash).
- Clarify whether the appliance or migration process can be containerized or run in a cross-platform manner.
- If Windows is a hard requirement, provide rationale and guidance for Linux/macOS users (e.g., using a Windows VM for the appliance).
