Your company has an on-premises Windows Server named OSLO-SRV01 and an Azure subscription containing a storage account and a file share named oslo-files. You plan to implement Azure File Sync to centralize file storage.
What is the correct sequence of steps you must perform to configure and establish synchronization between OSLO-SRV01 and the Azure file share?
- 1Deploy a Storage Sync Service resource in Azure.
- 2Install the Azure File Sync agent on OSLO-SRV01.
- 3Register OSLO-SRV01 with the Storage Sync Service.
- 4Create a sync group and a cloud endpoint targeting the oslo-files share.
- 5Create a server endpoint specifying the local folder path on OSLO-SRV01.
Answer
Deploy a Storage Sync Service resource in Azure, install the Azure File Sync agent on OSLO-SRV01, register OSLO-SRV01 with the Storage Sync Service, create a sync group and a cloud endpoint targeting the oslo-files share, and finally create a server endpoint specifying the local folder path on OSLO-SRV01.
Establishing Azure File Sync requires a specific logical sequence: first, establishing the management resource in Azure (Storage Sync Service); second, preparing the local server by installing the required agent software; third, registering the local server to establish trust; fourth, defining the sync group topology with the cloud-side storage (cloud endpoint); and finally, adding the local storage location (server endpoint) to start the synchronization process.
