Sample Questions
Try a few questions to see what the full exam is like.
An organization has Azure Virtual Desktop session hosts with the Azure Monitor Agent deployed and performance counters flowing to a Log Analytics workspace. They want to create an alert when a specific session host's available memory drops below 1 GB for 5 consecutive minutes. What is the KQL query logic for this alert condition?
You are deploying Azure Virtual Desktop session hosts that will be Microsoft Entra ID joined (not hybrid-joined, not AD DS joined). Users will need to connect from both Windows 11 corporate devices and personal macOS devices. Which statement correctly describes a limitation of Microsoft Entra ID-joined AVD session hosts?
You are configuring Azure Virtual Desktop Private Link for an organization that requires all AVD traffic (user connections to broker, diagnostics, and gateway) to flow over private network paths without traversing the public internet. After enabling Private Link for AVD, what DNS configuration is required on the session host VNet?
A company's AVD session hosts have experienced three unplanned reboots in the past week. After reviewing Event Viewer logs on the affected hosts, you find Event ID 41 (Kernel-Power) in the System log, indicating unexpected shutdown. Which Azure monitoring tool or diagnostic approach helps determine the root cause of unplanned session host reboots?
Your organization uses Microsoft Defender for Endpoint (MDE) on Azure Virtual Desktop session hosts. The security team reports that alerts from AVD session hosts are attributed to shared virtual machine names (since multiple users share the same host in a pooled pool), making per-user threat attribution difficult. What is the recommended configuration to improve per-session threat visibility in MDE for pooled AVD hosts?
