Question 580
A post-change operational risk review considers: A team backs up only pooled host images but expects personal user machine customizations to survive. Which risk MOST DIRECTLY explains the need for the proposed AVD control?
Explanation
Correct Answer
The condition is: A team backs up only pooled host images but expects personal user machine customizations to survive. The directly related risk is: A restored VM with stale AVD registration or missing user assignment may boot without providing a usable personal desktop. The corrective control is: Choose supported Azure VM or disk backup for persistent personal desktops and test restoration together with AVD registration and user assignment. Its test of effectiveness is: A backed-up personal desktop restores application data, reconnects its intended user and reports healthy session registration. This issue is specific to the observed AVD behavior, not to a separate administration concern.
Incorrect Answers
This option relates to Multi-region Azure Virtual Desktop service continuity planning under AZ-140 objective group 4.2. It addresses a different failure risk: AVD service control-plane availability alone does not recover region-specific session hosts or profile data when the primary region fails. But the observed requirement is: A team backs up only pooled host images but expects personal user machine customizations to survive. For the targeted topic (Personal desktop VM protection and recovery), the directly relevant risk is: A restored VM with stale AVD registration or missing user assignment may boot without providing a usable personal desktop. That other measure may be useful in a separate environment, but does not by itself establish the specific requested outcome. An independent qualified Azure Virtual Desktop expert must adjudicate any plausible overlapping alternatives before release.
This option relates to Disaster recovery rehearsal and recovery order under AZ-140 objective group 4.2. It addresses a different failure risk: A successful VM backup alone cannot demonstrate that users can reconnect to their applications within required recovery windows. But the observed requirement is: A team backs up only pooled host images but expects personal user machine customizations to survive. For the targeted topic (Personal desktop VM protection and recovery), the directly relevant risk is: A restored VM with stale AVD registration or missing user assignment may boot without providing a usable personal desktop. That other measure may be useful in a separate environment, but does not by itself establish the specific requested outcome. An independent qualified Azure Virtual Desktop expert must adjudicate any plausible overlapping alternatives before release.
This option relates to FSLogix profile backup and point-in-time restore under AZ-140 objective group 4.2. It addresses a different failure risk: Losing a profile share can erase roaming settings even when all Azure Virtual Desktop host VMs are healthy. But the observed requirement is: A team backs up only pooled host images but expects personal user machine customizations to survive. For the targeted topic (Personal desktop VM protection and recovery), the directly relevant risk is: A restored VM with stale AVD registration or missing user assignment may boot without providing a usable personal desktop. That other measure may be useful in a separate environment, but does not by itself establish the specific requested outcome. An independent qualified Azure Virtual Desktop expert must adjudicate any plausible overlapping alternatives before release.
