Summary
The documentation is heavily oriented toward Windows environments, with all examples and guidance referencing Windows Server, Windows PowerShell cmdlets, and Windows-centric tools (e.g., DFSR, Central Administration GUI). There are no Linux or cross-platform examples, and critical recovery steps (such as restoring SharePoint Search service) rely on Windows-only tools and commands. This creates significant friction for Linux users and those running SharePoint on non-Windows platforms.
Recommendations
- Add explicit guidance for Linux-based environments, even if SharePoint itself is Windows-only, to cover supporting infrastructure (e.g., SQL Server on Linux, DNS on Linux).
- Provide alternative examples for scripting and automation using cross-platform tools (e.g., Bash, Azure CLI) alongside PowerShell.
- Clarify which steps are Windows-specific and offer workarounds or references for Linux/macOS users where possible.
- Include notes or links to documentation for managing Azure Site Recovery and related networking from Linux/macOS systems.
- If SharePoint recovery is fundamentally Windows-only, state this clearly at the outset to set expectations for cross-platform users.
