## Option one (recommended): Use AzFilesHybrid PowerShell module

The AzFilesHybrid PowerShell module provides cmdlets for deploying and configuring Azure Files. It includes cmdlets for domain joining storage accounts to your on-premises Active Directory and configuring your DNS servers. The cmdlets make the necessary modifications and enable the feature for you. Because some parts of the cmdlets interact with your on-premises AD DS, we explain what the cmdlets do, so you can determine if the changes align with your compliance and security policies, and ensure you have the proper permissions to execute the cmdlets. Although we recommend using AzFilesHybrid module, if you're unable to do so, we provide [manual steps](#option-two-manually-perform-the-enablement-actions).

> AES-256 Kerberos encryption is now the only encryption method supported by the AzFilesHybrid module. If you prefer to use RC4 encryption, see [Option two: Manually perform the enablement actions](#option-two-manually-perform-the-enablement-actions). If you previously enabled the feature with an old AzFilesHybrid version (below v0.2.2) that used RC4 as the default encryption method and want to update to support AES-256, see [troubleshoot Azure Files SMB authentication](/troubleshoot/azure/azure-storage/files-troubleshoot-smb-authentication?toc=/azure/storage/files/toc.json#azure-files-on-premises-ad-ds-authentication-support-for-aes-256-kerberos-encryption).
