Question

Difficulty: MediumConfigure Azure Files and Azure File Sync

An administrator plans to configure Azure File Sync. The environment contains the following resources:

* A Storage Sync Service named SyncService1
* An Azure Storage account named sa1 that contains two Azure file shares: shareA and shareB
* Two registered on-premises Windows servers: Server1 and Server2

The administrator must configure synchronization to meet the following requirements:

* Files in the folder Docs on Server1 must synchronize with shareA.
* Files in the folder Data on Server2 must synchronize with shareB.

Which of the following actions are required to configure the synchronization? (Select two.)

  1. Create a sync group named SyncGroup1, add shareA as the cloud endpoint, and add the folder Docs on Server1 as a server endpoint.Answer
  2. Create a sync group named SyncGroup2, add shareB as the cloud endpoint, and add the folder Data on Server2 as a server endpoint.Answer
  3. C
    Create a single sync group named SyncGroup1, add both shareA and shareB as cloud endpoints, and add both server paths as server endpoints.
  4. D
    Assign the Storage Blob Data Contributor role to Server1 and Server2 to authenticate the File Sync agent to the storage account.

Answer

Create two separate sync groups, mapping each Azure file share as a cloud endpoint and each server folder path as a server endpoint to its respective sync group.
Each Azure File Sync sync group can only contain a single cloud endpoint (Azure File Share). Since synchronization is required between two different file shares and two different server paths, two separate sync groups must be created. Each sync group will link one file share as the cloud endpoint and the corresponding server path as a server endpoint.

Step-by-Step Solution

1
Determine the cloud endpoints needed for synchronization.
Identify that two separate Azure File Shares (shareA and shareB) must act as cloud endpoints.
Azure File Sync requires a cloud endpoint to represent the Azure File Share in a sync group.
2
Determine the sync group topology.
Identify that two separate sync groups must be created.
A sync group can contain only one cloud endpoint, so syncing to two different file shares requires two distinct sync groups.
3
Define the server endpoints within each sync group.
Associate the folder Docs on Server1 with SyncGroup1, and the folder Data on Server2 with SyncGroup2.
Server endpoints specify the path on a registered server that should be synchronized with the cloud endpoint of that sync group.
