azure files ntfs public IPs

hi team,

i have a quick enquiry.
i wanna replace my file server with azure files, please advise on the below points:

  1. as my current files are configured with ntfs permissions then ill have to integrate azure files with adds?

  2. users who want to access these files with their respective permissions can access them through public Ips or they need private endpoints?

  3. the client machines that are accessing the files need to be domain joined?

  4. if i create it a private endpoint for my office users, how would my remote users be accessing the files?

thank you

  1. Yes to retain NTFS permissions you will need to integrate with ADDS

  2. Yes, you can use a public endpoint but from a security perspective this is not recommended, so I would use a private endpoint

  3. Yes, they will need to be joined to the domain

  4. For private connectivity they will need to be connected to the virtual network with the private endpoint of the storage account so perhaps a VPN connection, site-to-site or point-to-site (VPN client).

Here are some documents that I would recommend reading through:
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/storage/files/storage-files-identity-auth-active-directory-enable

Read through all of the networking section here also:
