Azure Files SMB Access On-premises with Private Endpoints

- Azure Files SMB Access with Windows AD allows you to access file shares in Azure with NTFS access control. By default, that access won’t extend to an on-prem network over VPN or Express Route. This video shows how to extend access to an Azure Files share with Windows AD to an on-premises network using Private Endpoints.
This video covers creating a Private Endpoint for an Azure Storage File Share, configuring DNS, enabling a Storage Firewall to secure access and test connectivity over a VPN connection to an Azure VNet.

Finally a video where the person speaks english I can understand.
Thanks you're the best. Videos are super clear and accurate. Was able to extended Azure Files into my onprem network!
Great to hear!
Thank you so much, Travis. This was an awesome video. Adding the private link dns zone to our domain controller was the key step I was missing.
You're very welcome!
Very well explained! thank you.
Really helpful,cleared my doubts
Glad it helped
Muito bom, rápido e objetivo na explicação. Obrigado
Hi Travis, thanks for the great video! I have everything working as i would like but have a question about aliasing if you don't mind. I would like to provide a DR option for one of our domain joined Azure fileshares and as Azure Filestorage isn't geo-redundant i will replicate the contents across to a different region. Am i able to use a CNAME alias so that i can re-point to different storage accounts easily in the event of a failover?
Thank you so much, was able to get DNS configured. I spun up another VM in the same vent per another video but yours was just using my same on prem hybrid setup. Now I'm trying to figure out why when I use net use it asks for my credentials and then access denied. Looks like I need to look for a video on setting up permissions to file shares. Im close. Hope you have one on that topic. I'm subscribed! Thanks again.
hey great video teacher I have a question, the server on windows server must be in the same subscription and vNET? or how make this method with OnPremise Server or VM in another Subscription?, greetings from Mexico
Hi travis , please i just need some answer now what is difference between using SMB with private endpoint and using point to site VPN with private endpoint what is better and what is the difference ?
Hi Travis, thx for this video! I have a stupid question but... I have Azure ADDS and my Azure File Share. I have created the private endpoint. From a Windows Virtual Desktop or from any other Device, I try to connect to the Azure File Share. I'm stuck to your process when Error 53 is here. I don't have any DNS Server. Should I deploy a DNS Server to resolve the problem ?
Hi, thanks for this nice lab. I made all the steps and work, but only work on my Azure VM, If I want to access from others pc's anywhere out of azure, like personal pc connected to my home internet connection, What I have to do? Thanks.
Hi Travis, What about Azure File Share on On-Prem Linux server?
Great videos, thanks. However, I get asked for user/password when mounting the private endpoint and fails. On public endpoint, user authenticates thru AD no problem. I tried both on-prem AD and Azure AD DS. Both will authenticate over public, but not when I try to use Azure VPN client. I CAN mount the private endpoint with root-key successfully. Any ideas why AD isn't working for private endpoint?
are the principles in this video the same for private access to an Azure SQL resource?
Hi, great video just a major issue we see, we can get on VPN, file share is mapped in explorer etc works great. As soon as we disconnect from VPN explorer will freeze the PC completely. this is on all users PCs. windows 10. Anytime off VPN local work is not possible due to the freezing. Any ideas? TYVM!
Hi Travis,
Thank you for the video. I'm doing similar setup with Private Endpoint for Database access. I have all setp and it's working form VNETs but not from on premise. I have S2S VPN established and can reach vnets with no problem but even when I have DNS properly updated with privatlink record for database not able to connect. It's diving me error that TCP connection can't be established.
How did you managed to have onpremise network allowed when you are not able to set it during private endpoint deployment - just VNETs are available and this is added to the firewalls to be allowed.
If you know solution please let me know.
Thank you.
I seem to recall that databases like Azure SQL have a firewall or allowed IP addresses. Was the local subnet added to the database?
thanks for your details. In addition, As the B-model SMB, although the connection speed is faster than A, sales is not as follows. and i think elecbee connectors from CHIna can be believable.and it has ic products too.
Is the private endpoint IP pingable from the on-prem machine or is ICMP off? Would you be able to mount by private endpoint IP address instead of the alias?
You do have sense of humor :-) Private Endpoint!, Host file!.. :-)
Dude that made me laugh. In the split second after he said "host files" my brain freaked out.
Hostfile is great worked for me!! Test environment! :)
Hi Travis,
One quick question, at 9:55, isn't it neccesary to put up the Public IP from the client in Address range?
Only if we expected traffic coming in form a public IP. Using Private Endpoints keeps all traffic on the internal, private network so we don't need to expose the service to the internet.
does the vpn needs to be enabled all the time for the shares to have access? i need to install the vpn on all users? can i not do it with a vpn if i am inside my company network?
Hi Travis, thank you for the video! I wonder why is asking a password and username again when we tried the privatelink link to connect, is that something we need to add on the rbac inside the privatelink? thanks!
Did you ever find a solution to this? I'm hitting the same problem.
@@TomAguero Hi Tom, actually I stop the POC at the moment.
Hi Travis, when you map a file share that has a private endpoint, why do use \\{storage account name}.file.core.windows.net\{file share name} rather than \\{storage account name}.privatelink.file.core.windows.net\{file share name}? I mean why is "privatelink" left out of the path to the share? Thank you!
HI Travis, Could you make a video on deep dive using Azure files for linux workloads. Reason being to leverage Azure files for all data disk requirements on azure for linux and to see azure backup capabilities on backing up azure files. as you know azure backup dont have app consitant backup for linux.. i am thinking if azure files can solve this. your thoughts??
Great suggestion. I have had a couple requests about Azure Files and Linux.
Hi Travis! , i don't understand very well, why you use DNS manager?, you use it in your local machine? is it not a trouble issue?
The Windows AD integration and clients outside of Azure require Windows DNS to find the target. I changed the VNet DNS to the Windows DNS server for this to work.
@@Ciraltos Thanks Travis! i want to connect my local machine (No virtual machine) to file shares, in any case, i have my vpn (site to point), each user has to connect to the file shares system from home using my vpn, waching you video i notice i need to create a private endpoint in azure point it to file shares and config DNS in my local machine, what do you think? is it a good idea use a vpn for share files in that way? or should i use a endpoint to my vpn and later share files, hehe if you have some video explanation about that i want to know it! thanks!
Buenas noches estoy intentando ingresar al recurso con mi usuario de dominio¨y da error The specified network password is not correct, muchas gracias
I'm having the same issue as others have mentioned. I created an endpoint, configured a new DNS zone for ".privatelink.file.core.windows.net". Test-NetConnection on SMB/445 works. If I try to browse to that share from explorer, I get stuck in a loop of un/pw prompts - always failing with "The specified network passwords is not correct." If I use the Storage Account name and Access keys it works. If I go through the public endpoint with AD creds it works. It only fails when using Private Endpoint + AD Creds. Any ideas Travis?
Disregard. I figured it out by using the link to your prior video (czcams.com/video/Vm5QXbRPoKI/video.html). What I was missing was that you have to map the drive using the storage account name + access key FIRST. Set the NTFS permissions. Then map the drive once the domain joined user/computer have access. This behaves differently from what I was used to. We use these publicly. It prompts for creds and it honors whatever is in IAM. Private endpoint config honors NTFS. That's where my disconnect was. Thanks for the awesome videos. The info was all there. Just took me a bit to realize my error.
There are quite a few steps to get this set up, glad to hear it's working.
