- Azure Files SMB support for external identities is currently limited to FSLogix scenarios running on Azure Virtual Desktop (AVD). This applies to external users invited to a Microsoft Entra ID tenant in the public cloud, with the exception of cross-cloud users (those invited into the tenant from Azure Government or Azure operated by 21Vianet). Government cloud scenarios aren't supported. Non-AVD scenarios aren't supported for business-to-business guest users or users from other Microsoft Entra tenants.

The following prerequisites are required for the standard Microsoft Entra Kerberos authentication flow as described in this article. If some or all of your client machines don't meet these, you can still enable Microsoft Entra Kerberos authentication for SMB file shares, but you'll also need to [configure a cloud trust](storage-files-identity-auth-hybrid-cloud-trust.md) to allow these clients to access file shares.
