Question 1
HOTSPOT
-
You have an on-premises root certification authority (CA) named AdatumCA.
You have an Azure subscription that contains an Azure Virtual Desktop deployment. The subscription is linked to a Microsoft Entra tenant that contains the users shown in the following table.
All the users have been granted permission to connect to the Azure Virtual Desktop deployment and have AdatumCA-issued certificates installed on their devices.
You create a Conditional Access policy named CAPolicy1 that has the following settings:
• Assignments
o Users: Group 1
o Target resources: Azure Virtual Desktop
• Access controls
o Grant: Require multifactor authentication
• Enable policy: On
The certificate-based authentication method policy has the Enable and Target settings shown in the Enable and Target exhibit. (Click the Enable and Target tab.)
The certificate-based authentication method policy has the Configure settings shown in the Configure exhibit. (Click the Configure tab.)
For each of the following statements, select Yes if the statement is true. Otherwise, select No.
Show Answer
Correct Answer: No
No
Yes
Explanation:
CAPolicy1 targets Group1 and requires MFA. Certificate-based authentication (CBA) is enabled only for Group1 and is configured as single-factor with optional registration.
• User1 (Group1) cannot sign in without a password because single-factor CBA does not satisfy the MFA requirement.
• User2 (Group2) is not targeted by the CBA policy, so certificate or smart card authentication is not available.
• User3 (Group1 and Group2) is targeted by both the Conditional Access and CBA policies; therefore, a certificate-based sign-in method is required as part of authentication when connecting to Azure Virtual Desktop.
Question 2
HOTSPOT
-
You have 20 Azure Virtual Desktop session hosts that run Windows 11.
You need to enable the following features on the session hosts:
• Controlled folder access
• Reputation-based protection
Which Windows Security tile should you use to enable each feature? To answer, select the appropriate options in the answer area.
NOTE: Each correct selection is worth one point.
Show Answer
Correct Answer: Controlled folder access:
Virus & threat protection
Reputation-based protection:
App & browser control
Explanation:
Controlled folder access is part of Microsoft Defender Antivirus ransomware protection, found under Virus & threat protection. Reputation-based protection (SmartScreen) settings are configured under App & browser control.
Question 3
DRAG DROP
-
You have an Azure subscription that contains the resources shown in the following table.
share1 stores FSLogix profile containers and is backed up once a day to Vault1.
You need to back up share1 to Vault2.
Which three actions should you perform in sequence? To answer, move the appropriate actions from the list of actions to the answer area and arrange them in the correct order.
Show Answer
Correct Answer: Stop the backup for share1.
Unregister storage1.
Configure share1 to back up to Vault2.
Explanation:
An Azure Files share can be protected by only one Recovery Services vault at a time. You must stop the existing backup, unregister the storage account from the current vault, and then configure the share to use the new vault.
Question 4
You have an Azure Virtual Desktop deployment.
You use Hyper-V to create a virtual machine that runs Windows 11 and has the following configurations:
• Virtual machine generation: Generation 2
• Disk type: Dynamically expanding
• Disk format: VHDX
• Disk size: 2 TB
You need to prepare the virtual machine before uploading it to Azure.
Which two actions should you perform? Each correct answer presents part of the solution.
NOTE: Each correct selection is worth one point.
A. Decrease the disk size to 1 TB.
B. Change the disk type to fixed.
C. Change the disk type to differencing.
D. Change the disk format to VH
E. Change the virtual machine generation to generation 1.
Show Answer
Correct Answer: B, D
Explanation:
Before uploading a Hyper-V VM disk to Azure, the OS disk must meet Azure requirements. Azure requires a fixed-size disk, not dynamically expanding or differencing, so the disk type must be changed to fixed. In addition, Azure supports VHD format for uploaded OS disks, not VHDX, so the disk format must be converted from VHDX to VHD. The disk size and VM generation are already supported and do not need to be changed.
Question 5
You have an Azure Virtual Desktop deployment.
You plan to deploy the host pools shown in the following table.
For which host pools can you configure a load-balancing algorithm?
A. Pool1 only
B. Pool2 only
C. Pool1 and Pool2 only
D. Pool1 and Pool3 only
E. Pool1, Pool2, and Pool3
Show Answer
Correct Answer: D
Explanation:
In Azure Virtual Desktop, load-balancing algorithms (Breadth-first or Depth-first) can be configured only for **pooled** host pools. Personal host pools assign users to dedicated session hosts and therefore do not support load balancing. Based on the host pool types in the table, Pool1 and Pool3 are pooled, while Pool2 is personal. Thus, load balancing can be configured for Pool1 and Pool3 only.
Question 6
HOTSPOT
-
You have an on-premises Hyper-V host named Server1.
You have an Azure subscription.
You plan to deploy Azure Virtual Desktop by using a custom image.
On Server1, you create a virtual machine named CustomImage that has the following configurations:
• Generation: 2
• Virtual disk name: ImageC.vhdx
• Virtual disk type: Dynamically expanding
You build the custom image and generalize the operating system.
You need to prepare the virtual disk to ensure that you can deploy new hosts by using the custom image.
What should you do? To answer, select the appropriate options in the answer area.
NOTE: Each correct selection is worth one point.
Show Answer
Correct Answer: Convert the virtual disk to:
Fixed-size VHD
Store the virtual disk by using:
Azure Blob Storage
Explanation:
Azure custom images for Azure Virtual Desktop require a fixed-size VHD (not VHDX). The VHD must be uploaded as a page blob in an Azure Storage account, which is provided by Azure Blob Storage.
Question 7
HOTSPOT
-
You have an Azure subscription that contains an Azure Virtual Desktop host pool named Pool1 and a Log Analytics workspace named Workspace1. Pool1 forwards diagnostic data to Workspaces1.
You need to query Workspace1 to identify how many times a user named user1©contoso.com connected to the session hosts in Pool1 per day.
How should you complete the query? To answer, select the appropriate options in the answer area.
NOTE: Each correct selection is worth one point.
Show Answer
Correct Answer: WVDConnections
count
Explanation:
Connection events for Azure Virtual Desktop user sign-ins are recorded in the WVDConnections table. Each record represents a single connection, so using count() and grouping by a daily time bin returns how many times the specified user connected per day.
Question 8
Note: This section contains one or more sets of questions with the same scenario and problem. Each question presents a unique solution to the problem. You must determine whether the solution meets the stated goals. More than one solution in the set might solve the problem. It is also possible that none of the solutions in the set solve the problem.
After you answer a question in this section, you will NOT be able to return. As a result, these questions do not appear on the Review Screen.
You have an Azure subscription that contains a virtual network named VNet1, a storage account named storage1, and five Azure Virtual Desktop session hosts. VNet1 and storage1 are in the East US Azure region. The session hosts are connected to VNet1.
In storage1, you create an Azure Files share named share1.
You need to ensure that the session hosts connect to share1 by using the Microsoft backbone network.
Solution: You add a service endpoint to VNet1.
Does this meet the goal?
Show Answer
Correct Answer: A
Explanation:
Adding a service endpoint for Azure Storage to VNet1 ensures that traffic from the session hosts to the Azure Files share uses the Microsoft backbone network rather than the public internet. Service endpoints are sufficient to meet the stated goal, which is backbone routing, not full private IP–based access (which would require a private endpoint).
Question 9
HOTSPOT
-
You have an Azure Virtual Desktop deployment that contains the resources shown in the following table.
You need to use Azure Backup to back up profiles1 and the Pool1 session hosts as often as possible.
How often should you schedule the backups for each resource? To answer, select the appropriate options in the answer area.
NOTE: Each correct selection is worth one point.
Show Answer
Correct Answer: profiles1: Every four hours
Session hosts: Every 24 hours
Explanation:
Azure Backup for Azure Files supports backups as frequently as every 4 hours, which is the maximum for FSLogix profile shares. Azure Backup for Azure Virtual Machines (session hosts) supports a maximum backup frequency of once per day.

• Deploy an Azure Virtual Desktop host pool that will contain 10 session hosts joined to the Microsoft Entra Domain Services managed domain.
• Configure VM1 as the source image for the Azure Virtual Desktop deployment and upload the image to Azure.
• The Azure Virtual Desktop deployment will provide access to a custom app named App1.
Performance Requirements -
Northwind Traders identifies the following performance requirements:
• Each Azure Virtual Desktop session host must support 15 user sessions.
• Each new user session must be assigned to a single session host until the maximum session limit is reached for that host.
Application Requirements -
Northwind Traders identifies the following application requirements:
• Microsoft OneDrive must launch when users connect to a RemoteApp session in Azure Virtual Desktop.
• App1 requires a desktop resolution of 1280 x 1024.
• Administrative effort must be minimized.
Disaster Recovery Requirements -
Northwind Traders identifies the following disaster recovery requirements for the Azure Virtual Desktop deployment:
• Minimize outages if an Azure region fails.
• Minimize the recovery time objective (RTO).
• Minimize administrative effort in the event of a failover.
Security Requirements -
Northwind Traders identifies the following security requirements:
• When users sign in to the Azure Virtual Desktop deployment by using the Azure Virtual Desktop client, they must authenticate by using their Microsoft Entra username and password only.
• When users sign in to the Azure Virtual Desktop deployment by using a web browser, they must authenticate by using the Microsoft Authenticator app.
• All the Azure Virtual Desktop session hosts deployed by using the VM1 source image must be onboarded to Microsoft Defender for Endpoint.
• The client version and operating system used to connect to the session hosts must be logged.
• The solution must follow the principle of least privilege.
Networking Requirements -
The Azure Virtual Desktop session hosts must be able to access the resources on the on-premises network.
User Profile Requirements -
Northwind Traders identifies the following user profile requirements:
• Users must be able to access share1 by using their Microsoft Entra account.
• Azure Virtual Desktop user profiles must be managed by using FSLogix.
• All user profiles must be stored in share1.
Which settings should you configure to meet the performance requirements?
A. Load balancing for each session host
B. Properties for each session host
C. Scaling plan for the host pool
D. Properties for the host pool
Show Answer
Correct Answer: D
Explanation:
The performance requirements specify that each session host must support up to 15 user sessions and that new sessions should be placed on a single host until its maximum is reached. In Azure Virtual Desktop, both the maximum session limit per host and the load-balancing algorithm (set to Depth-first) are configured at the host pool level. These settings ensure sessions are packed onto one host up to the limit before moving to the next, meeting the stated performance requirements.
Question 11
You have an Azure Virtual Desktop deployment.
You plan to implement FSLogix profiles for the deployment.
You need to configure NTFS permissions for the file share that will store the FSLogix profiles. The solution must follow the principle of least privilege.
At which level should you apply permissions for CREATOR OWNER?
A. This folder, subfolders and files
B. Subfolders and files only
C. This folder only
D. Files only
Show Answer
Correct Answer: B
Explanation:
For FSLogix profile containers, Microsoft’s recommended NTFS configuration applies CREATOR OWNER permissions to **Subfolders and files only**. This ensures that when a user creates their own profile folder and VHD(X), they receive modify access only to the objects they create, while having no access to the root folder or to other users’ profile folders. This follows the principle of least privilege and aligns with official FSLogix documentation.
Question 12
Note: This question is part of a series of questions that present the same scenario. Each question in the series contains a unique solution that might meet the stated goals. Some question sets might have more than one correct solution, while others might not have a correct solution.
After you answer a question in this section, you will NOT be able to return to it. As a result, these questions will not appear in the review screen.
You have an Azure subscription that contains a virtual network named VNet1, a storage account named storage1, and five Azure Virtual Desktop session hosts. VNet1 and storage1 are in the East US Azure region. The session hosts are connected to VNet1.
In storage1, you create an Azure Files share named share1.
You need to ensure that the session hosts connect to share1 by using the Microsoft backbone network.
Solution: You configure network peering for Vnet1.
Does this meet the goal?
Show Answer
Correct Answer: B
Explanation:
Virtual network peering only enables connectivity between two virtual networks. An Azure Storage account is not deployed inside a VNet and, by default, is accessed via a public endpoint. To ensure traffic uses the Microsoft backbone from the session hosts to Azure Files, you must use a private endpoint (or service endpoint), not VNet peering. Therefore, configuring network peering for VNet1 does not meet the goal.

What should you do to meet the user profile requirements?
A. Join storage1 to the AD DS domain.
B. Create a new Azure Files share.
C. Create a new Azure Blob Storage account.
D. Join storage1 to the Microsoft Entra Domain Services managed domain.
Show Answer
Correct Answer: D
Explanation:
FSLogix profile containers require an SMB file share that supports Kerberos authentication. Users must access share1 by using their Microsoft Entra account, and the Azure Virtual Desktop session hosts are joined to a Microsoft Entra Domain Services managed domain. Joining the Azure Files storage account (storage1) to the Microsoft Entra Domain Services managed domain enables identity-based authentication over SMB using Entra credentials, satisfying the access and FSLogix requirements with minimal administrative effort.
Question 14
Note: This question is part of a series of questions that present the same scenario. Each question in the series contains a unique solution that might meet the stated goals. Some question sets might have more than one correct solution, while others might not have a correct solution.
After you answer a question in this section, you will NOT be able to return to it. As a result, these questions will not appear in the review screen.
You have an Azure subscription that contains a virtual network named VNet1, a storage account named storage1, and five Azure Virtual Desktop session hosts. VNet1 and storage1 are in the East US Azure region. The session hosts are connected to VNet1.
In storage1, you create an Azure Files share named share1.
You need to ensure that the session hosts connect to share1 by using the Microsoft backbone network.
Solution: You create a routing table and assign the table to Vnet1.
Does this meet the goal?
Show Answer
Correct Answer: B
Explanation:
Creating and assigning a user-defined route table to a virtual network does not force traffic to Azure Files to use the Microsoft backbone. Azure Storage is not deployed inside the VNet by default, and routing tables cannot redirect traffic to a storage account over the backbone. To ensure Microsoft backbone connectivity, you must use a private endpoint (Azure Private Link) or, in some scenarios, a service endpoint. Therefore, the proposed solution does not meet the goal.

A. Modify the Connection information settings for the host pool.
B. Assign a scaling plan to the host pool.
C. Modify the Session behaviour settings for the host pool.
D. Modify the Display settings for the host pool.
Show Answer
Correct Answer: D
Explanation:
App1 has a specific desktop resolution requirement (1280 × 1024). In Azure Virtual Desktop, screen resolution, monitor configuration, and display-related behavior are controlled at the host pool level through Display settings. Modifying the Display settings ensures session hosts present the required resolution, meeting the application requirement.
