      When attempting to use the SQL Server drivers for Linux, the following error is raised during early initialisation:

      Microsoft Drivers for SQL Server for PHP are available only for Windows OS.

      Moodle should not attempt detection of the operating system, and should not prevent users from configuring the driver on their platforms.
