Silvio Di Benedetto – Azure File Sync v19

The Azure File Sync agent v19, is being flighted to servers which are configured to automatically update when a new version becomes available and is available on the Microsoft Update Catalog.

The product team has worked hard to make a significant leap in performance, but most importantly, to introduce support for Windows Server 2025. This article recap the new features introduced.

Improvements

  • General Availability: Faster server provisioning & improved disaster recovery for Azure File Sync server endpoints
  • 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

Notes

  • 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
