MDFT Academy Quizzes

What should you create?

MDFT Academy has an on-premises network with several client computers that run Windows 10 and connect to a file server using a drive mapping. You plan to retire the file server and migrate to Azure Storage.

You need to create a storage solution in Azure for the planned mapped drive. What should you create?

Choose the correct answer from the options below.

Explanations for each answer:

An Azure SQL database is incorrect. Azure SQL Database is a relational database service and cannot be used as a mapped network drive. It is designed for storing structured data in tables, not for file storage that can be accessed as a network drive.
A virtual machine data disk is incorrect. While a virtual machine data disk can store files, it cannot be directly mapped as a network drive from Windows 10 computers. It would require setting up a file server VM to share the disk, which is more complex and costly than using Azure Files.
An Azure Storage Account File Share is correct
An Azure Storage Account Container is incorrect. Azure Storage Account Containers are used for blob storage and cannot be directly mapped as network drives in Windows 10. They are designed for object storage and require specific APIs or tools for access.
