Difficulty: MediumConfigure Azure Files and Azure File Sync

Your company has an on-premises Windows Server named Server-Lon1 that is registered to a Storage Sync Service named SyncService-UK in the UK South region. You deploy a new Storage Sync Service named SyncService-EU in the West Europe region, which is linked to a new Azure file share. You need to synchronize a local folder on Server-Lon1 with the new Azure file share in West Europe using SyncService-EU. What should you do first?

  1. A
    Create a new sync group in SyncService-EU and add the local path on Server-Lon1 directly as a server endpoint.
  2. B
    Assign the Contributor role on SyncService-EU to the managed identity of Server-Lon1.
  3. Unregister Server-Lon1 from SyncService-UK, and then register Server-Lon1 to SyncService-EU.Answer
  4. D
    Configure the storage account firewall for the West Europe storage account to bypass restrictions for Server-Lon1 as a trusted Microsoft service.

Answer

Unregister Server-Lon1 from SyncService-UK, and then register Server-Lon1 to SyncService-EU.
A server can only be registered to one Storage Sync Service at any given time. Because Server-Lon1 is already registered to SyncService-UK, it must be unregistered from it before it can be registered to SyncService-EU.

Step-by-Step Solution

1
Identify the current registration status of the server.
Server-Lon1 is currently registered to SyncService-UK.
Before using a server with a Storage Sync Service, it must be registered. You must check which service it is registered to currently.
2
Apply the Azure File Sync registration constraint rule.
Determine that a single server cannot be registered to more than one Storage Sync Service simultaneously.
An individual server cannot belong to multiple Storage Sync Services. Attempting to register it to a second service directly will fail.
3
Perform the unregistration and registration sequence.
Unregister the server from the UK service, and then register it to the EU service.
This frees the server from its current registration boundary, allowing it to register with the new Storage Sync Service and join the new sync group.
