You have a host pool with a scaling plan that uses a schedule. During a sudden spike in demand, the scaling plan does not add hosts quickly enough, causing user connection failures. You need to improve responsiveness while keeping costs reasonable. What should you do?

Disable the scaling plan and manually add hosts during peak times.

Increase the session host VM size to handle more sessions per host.

Create a separate scaling plan with a shorter ramp-up period and a higher minimum host count.

Set the load-balancing algorithm to depth-first to maximize host usage.

You are monitoring active sessions in Azure Virtual Desktop. You notice that some users are disconnected but their sessions remain active in the WVDConnections table. You need to identify sessions that have been idle for more than 30 minutes. What is the best approach?

Enable the AVD diagnostics for the host pool and use the WVDCheckpoints table.

Use the Azure Monitor Agent to collect process-level CPU usage and infer idle sessions.

Query WVDConnections for sessions where the last activity timestamp is older than 30 minutes.

Create an alert rule that triggers when a session is disconnected.

You have an Azure Virtual Desktop environment and need to create a custom workbook that shows the number of active sessions per host pool and the average CPU usage of session hosts. What is the most efficient way to build this?

Export the default workbook to Excel and modify it there.

Use the Azure Monitor Metrics Explorer to create a custom dashboard.

Create a new workbook from scratch and write KQL queries for both metrics.

Start from the Azure Virtual Desktop Insights workbook template and add a new query tile for CPU usage.

Which Azure service is the primary destination for collecting diagnostic logs from Azure Virtual Desktop session hosts?

Azure Storage account with table storage

Which Azure Virtual Desktop host pool type supports autoscaling?

Neither pooled nor personal host pools

Both pooled and personal host pools
