ARM template - storage account - add private endpoint to existing storage account

Question

This is a kind of newbee question on ARM templates.

I'm trying to add a private endpoint to an existing ADLS v2 storage account.

The problem is that I don't have the existing code and if I export the template I may miss something, like.networking and firewall information.

Any advice on how to add a private endpoint to an existing storage account using an ARM template?

Thanks.

You can deploy the template through the portal using custom Template deployment.

Portal -> Template deployments -> Custom deployments -> Build your own deployments.

The above template deployed successfully, and it reflected in both in resource group and ADLS storage account.
