Hi All, I have Azure AD DS (no on-prem) which I'm using for some WVD testing. I'm unable to access Azure Storage that I'm trying to use for FSLogix. I've given the permissions on the azure portal side but whenever I try to map it, it doesn't like the credentials. If I map it using the storage key and try to check the NTFS permissions it says: "The program cannot open the required dialog box because it cannot determine whether the computer named ... is joined to a domain" Any pointers in the right direction would be great.

    @Dom
    Make sure you have enabled Azure AD DS authentication on the storage account. Also confirm you have the proper role assigned to the user. See Assign access permissions to an identity. After you assign share-level permissions with RBAC, you must assign proper NTFS permissions at the root, directory, or file level. Once you have the permissions properly set you should be able to mount using the net use command. It is also possible that this is a WVD specific issue. Please doublecheck the best practices which are listed here.

    If it is still not working after double checking these let us know. We may have to take a look at your specific configuration to see why it is having issues.

    We have been having this issue as well for the past week or so when setting up a new WVD tenant that is cloud based only. We have been pulling our hair out

    We have setup dozens of WVD tenants with FSLogix that are in a hybrid topology with no issue so we are aware of the domain integration needed for auth.

    It seems that we can only map the drive in the Windows GUI by using the storage key, but all other credentials that are assigned in the IAM properties are not authentication and the user/pass screen just kicks back.
    .
    Ran through the documentation countless of times as well as deleting and re-provisioning.

    Has anyone else seen a resolution to this?
