Summary
The documentation is heavily biased toward Windows environments. All examples, instructions, and tooling references assume SQL Server is running on Windows VMs. Steps for configuring permissions, file paths, and automation are exclusively Windows-centric (e.g., SSMS, NT SERVICE accounts, PowerShell, Windows file paths, SMB shares). There is no mention of Linux-based SQL Server VMs, nor are Linux equivalents or cross-platform alternatives provided.
Recommendations
  • Add explicit guidance for SQL Server on Linux VMs, including differences in service accounts, file system paths, and permission management.
  • Provide Linux-specific examples for configuring permissions, such as using sqlcmd or other CLI tools native to Linux.
  • Include automation scripts for Linux (e.g., Bash scripts) alongside PowerShell examples.
  • Clarify which features and extensions are Windows-only and which are supported on Linux, and link to Linux-specific documentation where relevant.
  • When referencing file paths, show both Windows and Linux formats (e.g., C:\... and /var/... ).
  • Mention any limitations or unsupported scenarios for Linux users up front.
