Show Suggested Answer

Suggested Answer:

Step 1: Install the Azure File Sync agent on Server1
The Azure File Sync agent is a downloadable package that enables Windows Server to be synced with an Azure file share
Step 2: Register Server1.
Register Windows Server with Storage Sync Service
Registering your Windows Server with a Storage Sync Service establishes a trust relationship between your server (or cluster) and the Storage Sync Service.

Step 3: Add a server endpoint -
Create a sync group and a cloud endpoint.
A sync group defines the sync topology for a set of files. Endpoints within a sync group are kept in sync with each other. A sync group must contain one cloud endpoint, which represents an Azure file share and one or more server endpoints. A server endpoint represents a path on registered server.

given answer is correct as per link mention in justification Deploy a Storage Sync Service. -already done Create a sync group.-already done Install Azure File Sync agent on the server with the full data set. 1st action in sequence Register that server and create a server endpoint on the share. 2nd and 3rd action in sequence Let sync do the full upload to the Azure file share (cloud endpoint). After the initial upload is complete, install Azure File Sync agent on each of the remaining servers.

right seq Deploy a Storage Sync Service. Create a sync group. Install Azure File Sync agent on the server with the full data set. Register that server and create a server endpoint on the share. Let sync do the full upload to the Azure file share (cloud endpoint). After the initial upload is complete, install Azure File Sync agent on each of the remaining servers. Create new file shares on each of the remaining servers. Create server endpoints on new file shares with cloud tiering policy, if desired. (This step requires additional storage to be available for the initial setup.) Let Azure File Sync agent do a rapid restore of the full namespace without the actual data transfer. After the full namespace sync, sync engine will fill the local disk space based on the cloud tiering policy for the server endpoint. Ensure sync completes and test your topology as desired. Redirect users and applications to this new share. You can optionally delete any duplicate shares on the servers.
