Difficulty: MediumConfigure Azure Files and Azure File Sync

You have an on-premises Windows Server named FS-Sync01 and an Azure subscription that contains a Storage Sync Service named SyncService1 and an Azure storage account. You need to synchronize files in a local folder path D:\SharedData on FS-Sync01 to an Azure file share named cloudshare1 in the storage account. Which of the following represents the correct sequence of steps to configure Azure File Sync and establish synchronization?

  1. 1Install the Azure File Sync agent on FS-Sync01.
  2. 2Register FS-Sync01 with the Storage Sync Service SyncService1.
  3. 3Create a sync group in SyncService1.
  4. 4Add cloudshare1 as a cloud endpoint in the sync group.
  5. 5Add D:\SharedData as a server endpoint in the sync group.

Answer

Install the Azure File Sync agent on the server, register the server with the Storage Sync Service, create a sync group, add the Azure file share as a cloud endpoint, and then add the local path as a server endpoint.
Establishing Azure File Sync requires a sequential configuration path. The agent must first be installed on the local Windows Server to enable communication and registration tools. Once installed, the server is registered to the Storage Sync Service. Within the Storage Sync Service, a sync group must be created to define the topology. The Azure file share is then added as the cloud endpoint. Finally, the local directory on the registered server is added as a server endpoint to begin synchronization.

Step-by-Step Solution

1
Install the Azure File Sync agent on FS-Sync01.
The Server Registration Utility is installed and ready for execution.
The local server cannot communicate with the Storage Sync Service or run registration utilities until the agent package is installed.
2
Register the Windows Server (FS-Sync01) with the Storage Sync Service (SyncService1).
FS-Sync01 is listed as a registered server in the Azure Portal under SyncService1.
Server registration establishes a trust relationship between the on-premises server and Azure.
3
Create a sync group inside SyncService1.
A sync group is created to manage sync topology.
Endpoints must belong to a sync group, which coordinates the sync relationship between the Azure file share and local folders.
4
Add the Azure file share (cloudshare1) as a cloud endpoint in the sync group.
The cloud endpoint is linked to the sync group.
Azure File Sync enforces that a cloud endpoint must be added to the sync group before any server endpoints can be added.
5
Add D:\SharedData as a server endpoint in the sync group.
The folder path is registered as a server endpoint and data sync initiates.
The server endpoint links a specific folder on a registered server to the sync group, completing the configuration.
