1. Deploy a new on-premises server or Azure VM that is running a [supported Windows Server operating system version](https://learn.microsoft.com/azure/storage/file-sync/file-sync-planning#operating-system-requirements).

[Install the latest Azure File Sync agent](https://learn.microsoft.com/azure/storage/file-sync/file-sync-deployment-guide?tabs=azure-portal%2Cproactive-portal#install-the-azure-file-sync-agent) on the new server, then [register the server](https://learn.microsoft.com/azure/storage/file-sync/file-sync-deployment-guide?tabs=azure-portal%2Cproactive-portal#register-windows-server-with-storage-sync-service) to the same Storage Sync Service as the server that is being replaced (referred to as old server in this guide).

4. Optional: To reduce the amount of data that needs to be downloaded to the new server from the Azure file share, use Robocopy to copy the files in the cache from the old server to the new server.

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.

For example, if the old server has 4 sever endpoints (4 sync groups), 4 server endpoints should be created on the new server.

7. To redirect user access to the new Azure File Sync server, perform one of the following options:
3636
- Option #1: Rename the old server to a random name, then rename the new server to the same name as the old server.
3737
- Option #2: Use [DFS Namespaces (DFS-N)](https://learn.microsoft.com/windows-server/storage/dfs-namespaces/dfs-overview) to redirect users to the new server.
