Free AZ-140 sample questions

1. Your organization needs persistent dedicated VMs for developers who install custom tooling and expect their machine state to survive reboots and reconnects. Which host pool type should you deploy?

   • A. A pooled host pool running Windows 11 Enterprise multi-session with breadth-first load balancing
   • B. A personal host pool where each user is assigned a dedicated, persistent session host one-to-one
   • C. A pooled host pool with depth-first load balancing and FSLogix profile containers enabled
   • D. A RemoteApp application group published from a pooled host pool with autoscale configured
   Show answer

   Correct: B. A personal host pool assigns each user a dedicated VM that retains installed apps and state, which suits developers, because pooled host pools share multi-session VMs and discard per-user machine state between sessions. The pooled and RemoteApp options are incorrect because they rely on shared, non-persistent session hosts rather than a one-to-one persistent assignment.

2. You are designing a cloud-only AVD deployment with no on-premises Active Directory, and you must let users authenticate to FSLogix profile containers stored on Azure Files. Which identity approach should you choose?

   • A. Microsoft Entra ID join the session hosts and enable Microsoft Entra Kerberos for Azure Files
   • B. Active Directory Domain Services join with line of sight to an on-premises domain controller
   • C. Microsoft Entra Domain Services with all users synchronized from on-premises AD Connect
   • D. Standalone workgroup session hosts using local accounts and certificate-based SMB auth
   Show answer

   Correct: A. Entra ID join plus Entra Kerberos lets cloud-only users access Azure Files SMB shares for FSLogix without any domain controller, because Entra Kerberos issues the tickets the share needs. AD DS join and Entra Domain Services are incorrect here since they require directory infrastructure that does not exist, and workgroup local accounts cannot provide the centralized identity FSLogix profiles require.

3. Remote users complain of high latency and choppy video in AVD sessions over the public internet. You want to reduce round-trip time by establishing a direct UDP path between client and session host. Which feature addresses this?

   • A. Enable RDP Shortpath so the client and session host negotiate a low-latency UDP transport
   • B. Increase the session host VM size to a memory-optimized Edsv5 series instance
   • C. Switch the host pool load balancing algorithm from breadth-first to depth-first
   • D. Deploy an Azure Application Gateway in front of the AVD feed discovery URL
   Show answer

   Correct: A. RDP Shortpath establishes a direct UDP transport that lowers latency and improves media, because it bypasses the relayed TCP reverse-connect path. Resizing the VM does not change network latency, depth-first load balancing only affects session placement not the transport, and Application Gateway is a web load balancer that is not used for the AVD RDP data path, so those options are incorrect.

4. While planning the AVD object model you must correctly map management objects to their roles before assigning users. Which two statements about AVD objects are accurate? (Choose TWO)

   • A. A host pool is a collection of session host VMs that share the same configuration and image
   • B. An application group of type Desktop or RemoteApp is published from a host pool to users
   • C. A workspace stores the FSLogix profile containers for every user in the deployment
   • D. A scaling plan replaces the host pool and directly publishes apps to the AVD client
   • E. A session host is the Microsoft Entra tenant boundary that contains all host pools
   Show answer

   Correct: A and B. A host pool groups session hosts with shared configuration, and application groups (Desktop or RemoteApp) publish resources from that host pool to assigned users, which is the correct object model. The other choices are incorrect because a workspace only aggregates application groups for the feed and does not store profiles, a scaling plan automates capacity rather than replacing a host pool, and a session host is a single VM, not a tenant boundary.

5. Your customer already owns Microsoft 365 E3 licenses for all staff and wants to confirm they are entitled to run Windows 11 Enterprise multi-session session hosts without buying extra RDS CALs. What should you tell them?

   • A. Microsoft 365 E3 already grants the AVD multi-session entitlement, so no separate RDS CAL is needed
   • B. They must purchase per-device RDS CALs in addition to the existing E3 subscription
   • C. AVD multi-session requires a standalone Windows Server Datacenter license per host
   • D. Only Microsoft 365 E5 grants the AVD entitlement, so E3 users must be upgraded first
   Show answer

   Correct: A. Microsoft 365 E3 (and E5, Business Premium, and Windows E3/E5) includes the AVD entitlement for Windows multi-session, so no separate RDS CAL purchase is required. The other answers are incorrect because RDS CALs, Windows Server Datacenter licensing, and an E5-only restriction do not apply to AVD multi-session licensing under an existing E3.
