Summary
The documentation exclusively specifies Windows Server as the required operating system for the replication appliance, with no mention of Linux or macOS support. All folder paths and antivirus exclusions reference Windows directories. Windows-specific roles, group policies, and IIS settings are discussed, with no Linux equivalents or alternatives provided. This creates a strong Windows bias, making the guide inapplicable for Linux users.
Recommendations
- Clarify whether Linux-based appliances are supported or not. If not, explicitly state that only Windows Server is supported.
- If Linux support is possible, provide equivalent requirements, examples, and folder paths for Linux systems.
- Add guidance for Linux-based antivirus exclusions if Linux appliances are supported.
- Include a section comparing Windows and Linux deployment options, or provide rationale for Windows-only support.
- If Windows-only is a technical limitation, make this clear early in the documentation to set user expectations.
