Hi All,
I am trying to deploy ArcGIS Enterprise 10.8.1 base deployment in Azure using Cloud Builder 10.8.1 with the following parameters:
1. ArcGIS services account as a domain account
2. CA signed certificate
3. Azure Files(SMB) as the Azure cloud storage for the configuration and content store.
4. Relational data Store
5. 4 VM's - 1 each for Portal, Server, Data Store and FileShare.
The deployment fails with the below error:
The resource taServer-0/DSCConfiguration0 of type Microsoft.Compute/virtualMachines/extensions failed.
Error:- The resource operation completed with terminal provisioning state 'Failed'.
<b>VMExtensionProvisioningError</b> - VM has reported a failure when processing extension 'DSCConfiguration0'. Error message: "DSC Configuration 'ServerConfiguration' completed with error(s). Following are the first few: PowerShell DSC resource ArcGIS_Server failed to execute Set-TargetResource functionality with error message: ERROR: ArcGISUtility.psm1 failed. Failed to return security configuration. null The SendConfigurationApply function did not succeed."
Prior to this error message, the log files also has a record of the following Warning messages:
[02/10/2021 12:04:58] [VERBOSE] [taServer-0]: [[ArcGIS_Server]Server] Response from CreateSite:- Failed to create the site. Configuration store error. Cannot get persistence.

Has anybody faced a similar problem or know of a resolution to this? I have tried the deployment multiple times but each time its returning the same : "ArcGISutility.psm1 failed" error message.
Looking forward to hear from the community for any insights or suggestions to go beyond this error message to get the deployment done .
Sheepish update to add that in the years since I last attempted this particular setup, ESRI PowerShell DSC has added configurations specifically for Cloud File Shares -- see ConfigStoreCloudStorageAccount or ServerDirectoriesCloudStorageAccount.
