Microsoft AZ-140

Max session limit is set to 10.

This is the maximum number of concurrent sessions on a host. For depth-first, once a VM hits 10 users, then the next VM will begin accepting users.

There are 5 VMs, so the maximum number of concurrent user sessions is 50 (10x5).

Box 2: On the same session host -

The load balancing algorithm is set to depth-first.

The five user sessions will be created on the first session host.

Note: Depth-first load balancing allows you to saturate a session host with user sessions in a host pool. Once the first session host reaches its session limit threshold, the load balancer directs any new user connections to the next session host in the host pool until it reaches its limit, and so on.

Question #33 Topic 4

You have an Azure Virtual Desktop deployment that contains a host pool. The host pool contains 15 session hosts. All the sessions hosts have FSLogix installed.

You need to configure the path to where the user profiles are stored. The solution must minimize administrative effort.

Which registry setting should you use?

You have an Azure Virtual Desktop deployment.

You need to recommend a solution to run containerized applications without installing the applications on the session hosts.

What should you include in the recommendation?

You have an Azure Virtual Desktop deployment.

You need to create a host pool. The solution must ensure that during periods of low CPU usage, credits can be accumulated, and then used to raise performance above the purchased baseline during periods of high CPU usage.

Which virtual machine series should you specify when you create the pool?

You have an Azure Virtual Desktop deployment.

You publish a RemoteApp named AppVersion1.

You need AppVersion1 to appear in the Remote Desktop client as Sales Contact Application.

Which PowerShell cmdlet should you use?

Overview -

Litware, Inc. is a pharmaceutical company that has a main office in Boston, United States, and a remote office in Chennai, India.

Existing Environment. Identity Environment

The network contains an on-premises Active Directory domain named litware.com that syncs to an Azure Active Directory (Azure AD) tenant named litware.com.

The Azure AD tenant contains the users shown in the following table.

All users are registered for Azure Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA).

Existing Environment. Cloud Services

Litware has a Microsoft 365 E5 subscription associated to the Azure AD tenant. All users are assigned Microsoft 365 Enterprise E5 licenses.

Litware has an Azure subscription associated to the Azure AD tenant. The subscription contains the resources shown in the following table.

Litware uses custom virtual machine images and custom scripts to automatically provision Azure virtual machines and join the virtual machines to the on-premises

Active Directory domain.

Existing Environment. Network and DNS

The offices connect to each other by using a WAN link. Each office connects directly to the internet.

All DNS queries for internet hosts are resolved by using DNS servers in the Boston office, which point to root servers on the internet. The Chennai office has caching-only DNS servers that forward queries to the DNS servers in the Boston office.

Requirements. Planned Changes -

Litware plans to implement the following changes:

Deploy Azure Virtual Desktop environments to the East US Azure region for the users in the Boston office and to the South India Azure region for the users in the Chennai office.

Implement FSLogix profile containers.

Optimize the custom virtual machine images for the Azure Virtual Desktop session hosts.

Use PowerShell to automate the addition of virtual machines to the Azure Virtual Desktop host pools.

Requirements. Performance Requirements

Litware identifies the following performance requirements:

Minimize network latency of the Windows Virtual Desktop connections from the Boston and Chennai offices.

Minimize latency of the Windows Virtual Desktop host authentication in each Azure region.

Minimize how long it takes to sign in to the Windows Virtual Desktop session hosts.

Requirements. Authentication Requirements

Litware identifies the following authentication requirements:

Enforce Azure MFA when accessing Azure Virtual Desktop apps.

Force users to reauthenticate if their Azure Virtual Desktop session lasts more than eight hours.

Requirements. Security Requirements

Litware identifies the following security requirements:

Explicitly allow traffic between the Azure Virtual Desktop session hosts and Microsoft 365.

Explicitly allow traffic between the Azure Virtual Desktop session hosts and the Azure Virtual Desktop infrastructure.

Use built-in groups for delegation.

Delegate the management of app groups to Admin2, including the ability to publish app groups to users and user groups.

Grant Admin1 permissions to manage workspaces, including listing which apps are assigned to the app groups.

Minimize administrative effort to manage network security.

Use the principle of least privilege.

Requirements. Deployment Requirements

Litware identifies the following deployment requirements:

Use PowerShell to generate the token used to add the virtual machines as session hosts to an Azure Virtual Desktop host pool.

Minimize how long it takes to provision the Azure Virtual Desktop session hosts based on the custom virtual machine images.

Whenever possible, preinstall agents and apps in the custom virtual machine images.

User Profile Requirements -

Litware identifies the following user profile requirements:

In storage1, store user profiles for the Boston office users.

Ensure that the user profiles for the Boston office users replicate synchronously between two Azure regions.

Ensure that Admin1 uses a local profile only when signing in to the Azure Virtual Desktop session hosts. Question Which two roles should you assign to Admin1 to meet the security requirements? Each correct answer presents part of the solution.

NOTE: Each correct selection is worth one point.
