Azure File Sync v19

Azure File Sync

Una nuova versione di Azure File Sync agent, arrivato alla versione 19, è disponibile per l’aggiornamento automatico, per i server configurati con questa modalità, oltre ad essere disponibile all’interno Microsoft Update e del Microsoft Download Center.

Il team di prodotto ha lavorato molto per fare un salto forte, a livello di performance, ma soprattutto per introdurre il supporto a Windows Server 2025.

Questo articolo contiene le novità rilasciate in questa nuova build:

Improvements

  • General Availability: Faster server provisioning & improved disaster recovery for Azure File Sync server endpoints
    • We have reduced the time it takes for the new server endpoint to be ready to use. Prior to the v19 release, when a new server endpoint is provisioned, it could take hours and sometime days for the server to be ready to use. With our latest improvements, we’ve substantially shortened this duration, ensuring a faster setup process.
  • Preview: Managed Identity support for Azure File Sync service and servers
    • Azure File Sync support for managed identities eliminates the need for shared keys as a method of authentication by utilizing a system-assigned managed identity provided by Microsoft Entra ID.
  • Sync performance improvements
    • Sync performance has significantly improved for file share migrations and when metadata-only is changed (for example, ACL changes).
  • Support for Windows Server 2025
  • Miscellaneous reliability and telemetry improvements for cloud tiering and sync

Note

  • This release is available for Windows Server 2016, Windows Server 2019, Windows Server 2022 and Windows Server 2025 installations.
  • A restart is required for servers that have an existing Azure File Sync agent installation if the agent version is less than version 18.2.
  • The agent version for this release is 19.1.0.0.
