5. In the Azure portal, navigate to the Storage Sync Service, go to the sync group for the old server and [create a server endpoint](https://learn.microsoft.com/azure/storage/file-sync/file-sync-server-endpoint-create?tabs=azure-portal#create-a-server-endpoint) on the new server. Repeat this step for every sync group which has a server endpoint for the old server.

- Option #1: Rename the old server to a random name, then rename the new server to the same name as the old server.
