  2. B
    Configure an Azure Storage firewall bypass rule to allow Server1 access.
  3. C
    Generate a Shared Access Signature (SAS) token to authorize Server1.
  4. D
    Assign the Storage File Data Privileged Contributor role to Server1 in Microsoft Entra ID.

Answer

Install the Azure File Sync agent and register Server1 with the Storage Sync Service.

Step-by-Step Solution

1
Download and install the Azure File Sync agent on the local Windows Server (Server1).
The Azure File Sync driver and management cmdlets are installed on Server1.
The agent contains the background services and drivers required to monitor and sync changes between Server1 and Azure.

Server1 is successfully registered with the Storage Sync Service in Azure.
This establishes a secure trust relationship between the local server and the Azure Storage Sync Service using Entra ID authentication.
