Step by step guide on computer account auth for Azure Files
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.

Chrisvanaz I don't believe that MSIX App Attach is supported with Azure AD Domain Services at all today.
I believe part of this limitation is that you don't have any rights in the AADDS Domain to assign NTFS permissions.

AzureAcademy you are correct, we are adding this disclaimer to our documentation

JeremyWallace I tried the SAS key approach and can't get that to work either. It would be nice if Stefan could give us actual steps.

mobilejon thanks for the suggestion. We will consider it. Two things to keep in mind we are working on something that may render the need for Azure AD DS obsolete and Azure AD DS has a very low adoption in enterprise (last time I checked less than 3%)

Stefan Georgiev for our organization, the need for LDAP translation from cloud-only accounts is very important.
Do you have steps to actually make this work in AAD-DS that have been tested and actually work?
