---

Is this a BUG REPORT or FEATURE REQUEST? (choose one): Bug ?

Kubernetes version (use kubectl version):

Environment:

• Cloud provider or hardware configuration: Azure
• OS (e.g. from /etc/os-release): Windows agents

What happened:
Using ACS on Azure, I created a cluster with Windows agents. Now I tried to add shared storage with Azurefile but it never seems to work, I barely find information concerning this aswell. When I describe the pod it always gives unknown for sharename.

What you expected to happen:
It should've just connected the share, I followed the template from github for this

How to reproduce it (as minimally and precisely as possible):
Make a windows cluster using ACS, trying to deploy using Azurefile volume.

Anything else we need to know:
This is my deployment yaml file.

And this is my share structure

Azure file mount on windows depends on windows 2016 RS3 image, which is about to release around Oct, there is already a PR(#52469) for this, I will notify you when it's ready on azure. Thanks.
