Step by step guide on computer account auth for Azure Files
Have you gotten app attach to work on on azure file share with Azure ADDS? Despite having Azure AD DS enabled on the storage, and the session host's managed identity added to the file share SMB share contributor role and able to mount the file share successfully from the session host and have assign full access in the NTFS permissions for the the session host's account and users, getting an 'Error accessing virtual disk' when trying to enter the msix image path (see screenshot below). Any ideas?
- An important point that is different from that video I referenced specifically for MSIX AppAttach is that you need the Computer objects to be granted permissions on the file share. I go over this in a lot more detail in my MSIX AppAttach video here - https://youtu.be/m0ifZg2WF5Q
As to the specific question on AADDS being compatible/supported with the portal MSIX AppAttach feature...I’ll let Stefan give the official response ☺️Thanks Dean - found a response from Stefan and Tom Hickling on another forum post from earlier this month so I'm guessing its still not a workable scenario at this point.
JeremyWallace , were you able to find a solution for this issue? We have same setup. Cloud only users and AADDS. Can't get MSIX app attach to work. Have you tried a file share on an Azure VM? Not sure what other options there might be. Just looking for ideas. Amazing how hard it's been to find info on this. Usually they will tell you that Hybrid Auth is REQUIRED or something like that but they don't in the documentation. Pretty frustrating. Thanks for any ideas.
