We are currently a hybrid AD environment aiming to go entirely cloud based by eliminating local AD and joining machines to Azure only. However we have a couple of departments that still have on-prem file servers. These file servers are fairly large in capacity and migrating to Azure Files is not in the budget.

Is there a way that we can have Azure AD only joined PCs authenticate against an on-prem file server once our on-prem AD has been removed?

Or is there a way that an on-prem file server could be joined to Azure AD?
