i use AADDS.

the session host has the SMB Reader role on the storage account and for NTFS i've configured read permissions for the session host.

 

Only thing missing is the certificate, gonna try that one 🙂

I was told by the Azure Files engineering team that machine accounts cannot be granted access to Azure Files when AAD DS is used.

    That is correct, i can confirm this - I have rebuilt my identity setup to ADDS to be able to test it - i wrote in my first post that i wasn't sure AADDS was supported, but there may be loopholes.

    Reason its not working is that sync direction is wrong, we sync object from AAD to AADDS, where as in ADDS you sync from ADDS to AAD.

     

    However i got mine working, with ADDS, although at first i could not get the msix app to register, it would mount the disk in Windowsapps folder, but App registration did not occur.

     

    After installing the HyperV management tools and PS modules, it started working - i hav yet to figure out why - so I will probably deploy an new hostpool on marketplace images and test it again, not using my custom images.
