How do we pass the server ID to a server endpoint to a Storage sync aka file sync service through an ARM template

            }*

The above resource type and the ARM TEMPLATE for adding the server end points. This template doesn't trigger the provisioning the server end-point. Would like to see an example of the same.TIA

The following is a working ARM template that deploys a Storage Sync Service, a Sync Group and a Server Endpoint.

You can get the serverResourceId property when you register the server with your Storage sync server as described here, but in the ResourceId format:

/subscriptions/***/resourceGroups/***/providers/microsoft.storagesync/storageSyncServices/mystoragesyncservice/registeredServers/85fa92da-2b2e-447c-d3rg-f8bf43c4064f
