Azure Files with AD DS authentication - DNS forwarder setup

I have the setup running via Private Endpoint and now want to be able to find the private endpoint IP through my own DNS setup. I'm trying to do this via the DNS forwarder setup here https://docs.mi...

Hi,

I am in the same situation as you.

Tried Powershell 7.0.3, 6.2.1 and 6.2.4 but they all give the same error message.

Any update on this?

Is there another way to make the dns forwarders?

Regards,

Hi Diederik,

I went with just using my already existing AD integrated DNS in my hybrid setup.

I have domain controllers running on-premises and in Azure, so I made the following:

On on-premises DCs:

a Conditional Forwarder for core.windows.net that points to the DC in Azure, not stored in the AD

On Azure DC:

a Conditional Forwarder for core.windows.net that point to the Azure DNS server 168.63.129.16

this works great, and only down side I've found is that I manually have to create the Conditional Forwarder when building new DCs

Hi

Sorry...now I am totally confused 🙂
Cause I am trying this and getting the same error
Get-ArmTemplateObject : A parameter cannot be found that matches parameter name 'Depth'.
(using the AZFilesHybrid v0.2.3)
I have NO On premise AD, only the Azure AD DS running.
There I have created a conditional forwarder for core.windows.net (168.63.129.16)

I also created private endpoints for the storage account in the VNet

And now?
running the script doesn't work (error above) - what to do now?

Best,
Lutz
