This preview is offered under the [Supplemental Terms of Use for Microsoft Azure Previews](https://azure.microsoft.com/support/legal/preview-supplemental-terms/) and is controlled via Azure Feature Exposure Control (AFEC) settings on a per subscription basis.

The Azure NetApp Files support for one Active Directory (AD) connection per NetApp account feature now allows each NetApp account to connect to its own AD Forest and Domain, providing the ability to manage more than one AD connections within a single region under a subscription. This enhancement enables distinct AD connections for each NetApp account, facilitating operational isolation and specialized hosting scenarios. AD connections can be configured multiple times for multiple NetApp accounts to make use of it. With the creation of SMB volumes in Azure NetApp Files now tied to AD connections in the NetApp account, the management of AD environments becomes more scalable, streamlined and efficient. This feature is in preview.
