Any reasons not to enable deduplication in FSx for Windows?
Setting aside single-AZ vs multi-AZ, we offer [two different pricing tiers][1] for FSx, those being with and without data deduplication. Looking at storage costs, the pricing with deduplication enabled is half that of non-deduped FSx with the assumption of a typical 50% deduplication rate. We've also documented that deduplication is transparent to the end user and [doesn't significantly affect the file system's performance][2]. With that said, are there any potential reasons customers should not enable deduplication?

FSx for Windows File Server with self-managed AD
A customer has deployed an Amazon FSx for Windows File Server joined to his self-managed Active Directory. He noticed that Amazon FSx is creating 4 different computer objects into its OU for 1 file system, 4 new computer objects for another file system, etc. which will result in a very difficult situation to manage those file systems at scale.
[Nothing in particular is mentioned within our documentation except to not move computer objects that Amazon FSx creates in the OU after your file system is created][1]
Is it the normal behavior of Amazon FSx for Windows File Server with self-managed AD? Do you have any clue which may help to better understand Amazon FSx behavior? Thank you very much in advance for your feedback

Retain share name while migrating from SMB shares to AWS FSx - Windows
We are currently migrating to AWS and have around 90 TB of CIFS/SMB shares to be migrated to AWS and we are thinking of using FSX. However, there is a requirement within the applications to use the same share name as on prem. Can this be achieved by FSx for Windows?
Example: On prem application reads/writes to a share - \\nanpfssvfp01a\VMS_Entapps_1\Active_X
Is it possible to retain the same naming convention on FSx?
Example: The application reads and writes to share "\\nanpfssvfp01a\VMS_Entapps_1\Active_X". Can this be share name be retained?
