Azure Files SMB Access On-premises with Private Endpoints

Azure Files SMB Access with Windows AD allows you to access file shares in Azure with NTFS access control. By default, that access won’t extend to an on-prem network over VPN or Express Route. This video shows how to extend access to an Azure Files share with Windows AD to an on-premises network using Private Endpoints.
This video covers creating a Private Endpoint for an Azure Storage File Share, configuring DNS, enabling a Storage Firewall to secure access and test connectivity over a VPN connection to an Azure VNet.
