Cant map azure file share on target server using private endpoint

Hello @Klenti Toska !

Welcome to Microsoft QnA!

I must ask ,

have you added on the routing on the S2S the IP Address of the Private Endpoints ?

When using private endpoints it is best to utilize the Private DNS Zone , Link the zone with the VNET of the VPN Gateway, and forward DNS queries for the Private DNS Zone to Azure DNS

Try ping or Test-NetConnection to see whether connectivity is there

I suspect no connectivity since the Prvate Endpint is a special NIC assigned as a standalone IP Address

Please try this and let us know !

Hello @Klenti Toska !

Thank you for your input

Alright got it

have you tried ;

Get-SmbServerConfiguration | Select EnableSMB1Protocol

Also i would add a Fwall rule to allow incoming 10.x.x.x just in case !

Hello Klenti Toska,

Greetings! Welcome to Microsoft Q&A Platform.

I understand that you had set up a Site-to-Site (S2S) VPN and created a private endpoint for your file share and you are facing the issue while accessing the file share from a domain controller (DC) server on the same network. Azure Private Endpoint is a network interface that connects you privately and securely to a private link service.  https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/private-link/troubleshoot-private-endpoint-connectivity.

• The issue is with the DC server’s configuration or network access Once verify the following steps: Check the DC server is correctly configured to route traffic through the VPN and the network settings are properly configured with the VPN configuration.
• Check there would be no specific network policies or routes on the DC server.
• Ensure that the DC server’s DNS settings are properly configured to provide the private endpoint's address. Sometimes DNS configurations on a DC can be different from other machines.
• Verify that the DC server is not on a different VLAN or subnet. Check that the DC server has the necessary permissions to access the file share.
