Question 60
A post-change operational risk review considers: A storage account is configured for a different directory identity source than its session hosts expect. Which risk MOST DIRECTLY explains the need for the proposed AVD control?
Explanation
Correct Answer
The condition is: A storage account is configured for a different directory identity source than its session hosts expect. The directly related risk is: An SMB file share without a compatible identity configuration may reject user profile access despite valid network connectivity. The corrective control is: Configure the supported Azure Files identity source and required Kerberos, network and directory prerequisites for domain-joined session hosts. Its test of effectiveness is: A domain-signed-in pilot user can authenticate to the share and attach the intended FSLogix container. This issue is specific to the observed AVD behavior, not to a separate administration concern.
Incorrect Answers
This option relates to Storage redundancy and FSLogix profile recovery planning under AZ-140 objective group 1.2. It addresses a different failure risk: Storage replication alone is not a verified backup against accidental profile deletion or corruption. But the observed requirement is: A storage account is configured for a different directory identity source than its session hosts expect. For the targeted topic (Azure Files AD DS SMB identity integration), the directly relevant risk is: An SMB file share without a compatible identity configuration may reject user profile access despite valid network connectivity. 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 Profile share storage account network protection under AZ-140 objective group 1.2. It addresses a different failure risk: Disabling public access before configuring approved private network and DNS paths can strand every user profile. But the observed requirement is: A storage account is configured for a different directory identity source than its session hosts expect. For the targeted topic (Azure Files AD DS SMB identity integration), the directly relevant risk is: An SMB file share without a compatible identity configuration may reject user profile access despite valid network connectivity. 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 storage capacity and IOPS planning under AZ-140 objective group 1.2. It addresses a different failure risk: Selecting low-throughput SMB storage can create logon storms and slow container attachment even when session hosts are healthy. But the observed requirement is: A storage account is configured for a different directory identity source than its session hosts expect. For the targeted topic (Azure Files AD DS SMB identity integration), the directly relevant risk is: An SMB file share without a compatible identity configuration may reject user profile access despite valid network connectivity. 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.
