title: Azure File Storage Access for Windows Service Accounts
body: <p>I have a VM running Services under local service accounts that are looking for mapped drives OR UNC paths. I can map a drive (using the powershell fragments from the portal) -- but this mapping only applies to ME, not the service accounts.</p>
  
  <p>I created Azure AD Domain Services
  I created a user with AD rights.
  My VM has a system-assigned identity.
  I created a storage account.
  The system-assigned identity is assigned to the storage account as Contributor.
  I am expecting to map a UNC without providing credentials -- mapping UNC without providing credentials  does not work.
  I tried joining the VM to the AD -- mapping UNC without provding credentials  does not work.</p>
  
  <p>What am I doing wrong ?</p>
