Glad it was helpful.

Sounds like it coudn't find the nic. I would suggest looking at the Network section for the test instance, add a nic if needed and make the necessary changes. If you start video at 10:35 you'll see I had to add a public IP.

@user-pn8zz2nf7w Thank you and great question. The server license does not travel with the server unless you launch it on dedicated hardware. So you'll be using the license that AWS provides.

@harisherupothu4275 it really depends on what size you want the instance. If you just want the cost of a 60GB volume that would be .08 cents x 60 = $4.80US per month. You can get a good idea about costs here calculator.aws

@TuNguyen-gh4lv I would suggest you drop a small file onto your on-prem server, wait for awhile, power up your server that is in test stage and check to see if the file is there.

@dpeluzzo it's assumed that you already have active directory syncing to Azure so no you won't need to open ports on active directory server if you have that setup.

@Marcel-dt5du If using a private endpoint you would still need a way to sync your AD to Azure.

@@techhelpfornonprofits thanks. And what a coincidence, today I was working with our admin getting this done. We are getting network credentials errors when trying to mount the drive. I was thinking that maybe we should use the internal IP instead of the hostname when registering the storage account in the AD? Public connectivity is disabled for that storage account

@@Marcel-dt5du That shouldn't make a difference, but who knows. Did it work?

@@techhelpfornonprofits I can only try again next week. Will post an update to it

Thanks for the comment. AWS does create the instance and volumes for you, but you'll have to calculate the costs using the calculator. calculator.aws/#/addService

@@techhelpfornonprofits ok thank you.

Thanks. Unfortunately, I haven't worked with Oracle, but this other channel has a bunch on the subject www.youtube.com/@IdeaSpot/search?query=oracle

i do facing the same issue, not where was the issue

Because these are Windows instances. If you were using Linux would would need the keypair to login.

Here are the instructions from the Passbolt website help.passbolt.com/configure/email/smtp-authentication#sendgrid

@melvin_broh I'm not familar with proxmox. I would contact their support to see if they might have a prebuilt version in the AWS Marketplace.

Much appreciated @manassahyoung8218

@shaistasanober4592, it suggested to shutdown the source server. You're going to run into problems if you have a VPN connection connecting your on-prem to AWS. I would suggest powering it up offnet, rename it and change the IP address if you want to continue using it.

@phil8894 If you're getting prompted for a username/password that makes me think your Active Directory is not syncing to Azure AD. You'll need to make sure that's working first.

@siddhantsingh7724 if you're still having this issue have you tried this on a different aws region? Also, might try turning on termination protection for the conversion server if you're able.

@rakshandhakannappan9568 when you sync your source server to AWS you need to have the ability to remote into the server/instance on AWS.

@milminer6006 thanks for the comment. You will need your local AD to sync to Azure AD to use the azure modules. As long as you're running the commands from a domain joined computer with proper permissions you should be good. No need to run from a DC. (requirements at 11:43 in video)

@@techhelpfornonprofits Thanks man. I appreciate your response. I didn't have a domain join machine, so I ran it on the DC and got it to work. The storage account now says 'configured' for active directory. My problem is connecting to the file share with a hybrid identity from a windows computer using a point to site VPN. Do you have any content that shows how to do that? MSFT documentations are not very clear.

@@milkminer6006 your P2S VPN connection should already be using your AD credentials to authenticate. Are you not able to use those creds to access the file share?

@@techhelpfornonprofits Thanks for your response. No, when I authenticate with the Azure AD hybrid identity and try to map the drive that would've been attached to a private endpoint it doesn't work. I am yet to find a video that does everything right through for the active directory configured approach.

@camundson3 Thanks for the comment.

@JamesWBurns take a look at this post jotelulu.com/en-gb/support/tutorials/deploy-powershell-script-using-gpo/

@@techhelpfornonprofits thanks

Assert-IsDomainJoined : The cmdlet, script, or module must be run in a domain-joined environment.

"First I need to run updates", "yup, 3.5 is already installed", "running on VM", "can enable remote desktop or verify firewall ports are open for port 3389"

I don't believe that's possible since it needs AD permissions to allow access to the share in Azure.

Good suggestion Rishabh. I'll add it to my list.

Mohamed salah - I don't think you can specify using the VPN, but the data in transit is encrypted if that's what you're worried about. Not sure what you're asking with IAM user. You can use any IAM identity that has the ability to replicate.

The replication time depends on your Internet connection and amount of data. In my test I think it took about an hour. The service is free for first 90 days or 2,160 hours of service.

@SARTHAK thanks for the question. Remember you're importing an existing server that already has login credentials. I used those to login.

@BruceSa I didn't create a PowerPoint. If you're talking about the Powershell commands they are here for connecting to Azure learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/storage/files/storage-files-identity-ad-ds-enable and they are autogenerated when you setup the file share for connecting to the share.

Thank you

Glad you got some use out of it Keith.

Thanks Taofik. I would start by looking at roles for storage in AZ. learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/storage/blobs/assign-azure-role-data-access?tabs=portal

You mean Join-AzStorageAccountforAuth? kzbin.info/www/bejne/Zou0h52epZ2aatU

You can create and active directory test environment using this Github repository github.com/pluralsight/PS-AutoLab-Env

is this solution available for migrating files from on prem to azure file share?

@@TiteufMela After you've mapped your azure file share locally you should be able to copy any on prem files to that share.

@@techhelpfornonprofits thank you, last question please , to copy the file and folders we should one of solution and if i am using robocopy how can i do that? thare are some consideration to take ? Can put me a link as a demo? thank you so much

@@TiteufMela Sorry so late in responding. Yes, I would suggest robocopy. There are a ton of posts on syntax. After you copy I would verify the permissions.

How about this activedirectorypro.com/map-network-drives-with-group-policy/

@@techhelpfornonprofits Thank you, but what's the syntax for the path to the drive/folder in this case? The link you sent is to deal with a folder inside a local file server. The address of a Azure File Share has a syntax up to the file storage account, like: FileStorageAccountName.file.core.windows.net. And that doesn't point to the file share nor a folder inside a file share.
