A company has a host pool with 50 session hosts. During peak hours, CPU usage averages 85% and users complain of sluggish performance. You have a scaling plan that uses depth-first load balancing. You need to improve performance without adding more hosts. What should you do?

Reduce the maximum session limit per host.

Increase the session host VM size to a larger SKU.

Change the load-balancing algorithm to breadth-first and adjust the scaling plan's capacity thresholds.

Disable autoscaling and keep all hosts running.

You are troubleshooting a performance issue in your Azure Virtual Desktop environment. Users report that the session host becomes unresponsive for a few minutes every day at 10 AM. You have collected performance counters and event logs. You need to identify the root cause. Which KQL query approach would be most effective?

Query the AzureActivity table for any resource health events around 10 AM.

Query the WVDErrors table for all errors in the last 24 hours and look for error codes that match the time of the issue.

Query the Perf table for CPU and memory counters, filter by the time range around 10 AM, and correlate with the WVDConnections table to see if there is a spike in new connections.

Query the Event table for all events from the session hosts and look for warnings or errors around 10 AM.

Your organization has an Azure Virtual Desktop environment with session hosts in two Azure regions. You need to set up Azure Monitor to track performance and health across both regions with a single pane of glass. What should you do?

Create a single Log Analytics workspace and configure all session hosts to send data to it.

Create a separate Log Analytics workspace per region and use Azure Monitor Workbooks to combine them.

Enable Azure Monitor for VMs on one region only and rely on Azure Monitor metrics for the other.

Use Azure Service Health to monitor session host performance.

A company has a host pool with two application groups: one for finance users and one for HR users. A user in the finance group needs access to an HR application temporarily. What is the most efficient way to grant this access?

Create a new application group for the user and assign the HR app.

Move the user from the finance group to the HR group.

Add the user to the HR application group's assigned user list.

Assign the user to the host pool directly.

A company runs a pool of Azure Virtual Desktop session hosts that are often underutilized during off-peak hours. They want to reduce costs without affecting peak-hour performance. What should you implement?

Enable Azure Monitor alerts to notify when CPU usage is low.

Manually deallocate session hosts every evening and start them in the morning.

Configure autoscaling for the host pool to scale out during peak hours and scale in during off-peak hours.

Reduce the VM size of all session hosts to a smaller SKU.
