I’m afraid not. Those docs would have been used by both sides, especially for non-prod environments but they were definitely operations oriented.
I would agree they’re usually good but when they were bad, they were real bad. And bad seemed to happen a lot more outside of the “big” internal fiefdoms at the time (Desktop, Server, AD, Exchange, etc.).
They did seem to hit a rough patch during the transition but the only thing I’ve seen is gaps here and there due to what I assume is incongruity between teams. Like tools being moved from an installer and therefore the installer docs but corresponding docs for how to get those tools not being created/updated elsewhere.
