Microsoft Azure Virtual Desktop Certification Information
This course can help you prepare for the following Microsoft role-based certification exam — AZ-140: Configuring and Operating Microsoft Azure Virtual Desktop.
Azure Virtual Desktop manages the infrastructure and brokering components, while customers manage their desktop host virtual machines (VMs) and clients. Microsoft manages the Remote Connection Gateway and Connection Broker services as part of Azure.
After completing this module, you'll be able to:
Azure Virtual Desktop design requires that you assess network capacity and speed requirements, select a load-balancing method for your Azure Virtual Desktop deployment, and choose the right Windows Desktop client
After completing this module, you'll be able to:
Your users require access to those applications both on-premises and in the cloud. You use the Remote Desktop client for Windows Desktop to access Windows apps and desktops remotely from a different Windows device.
After completing this module, you'll be able to:
See how to monitor and repair the health of their Azure Virtual Desktop, including virtual machines, virtual networks, application gateways, and load balancers.
After completing this module, you'll be able to:
FSLogix roams profiles in remote computing environments, such as Azure Virtual Desktop. Using a virtual machine-based file share, you set up an FSLogix profile container share for a host pool.
After completing this module, you'll be able to:
See how to configure the assignment type of a personal desktop host pool to adjust your Azure Virtual Desktop environment to better suit your needs.
After completing this module, you'll be able to:
A Shared Image Gallery simplifies custom image sharing across your organization. Custom images can be used to bootstrap deployment tasks like preloading applications, application configurations, and other OS configurations.
After completing this module, you'll be able to:
Azure Virtual Desktop uses Azure role-based access controls (RBAC) to assign roles to users and admins. Azure Virtual Desktop has additional roles that let you separate management roles for host pools, app groups, and workspaces.
After completing this module, you'll be able to:
The Windows client for Azure Virtual Desktop integrates Azure Virtual Desktop on local machines. You'll learn the critical actions for keeping your users safe.
After completing this module, you'll be able to:
A user profile contains data elements about user information like desktop settings, persistent network connections, and application settings.
After completing this module, you'll be able to:
Persistent virtual desktops save the operating system state in between reboots. Virtual desktop provides users easy and seamless access to their assigned VMs, often with a single sign-on solution.
After completing this module, you'll be able to:
MSIX app attach is a way to deliver MSIX applications to both physical and virtual machines. The MSIX app attach differs from regular MSIX because it’s specifically for Azure Virtual Desktop.
After completing this module, you'll be able to:
You can replicate your virtual machines (VMs) to the secondary location for Azure Virtual Desktop. You use Azure Site Recovery to manage replicating VMs in other Azure locations.
After completing this module, you'll be able to:
Reduce Azure Virtual Desktop deployment costs by scaling virtual machines (VMs). This means shutting down and deallocating session host VMs during off-peak usage hours, then turning them back on and reallocating them during peak hours.
Disaster Recovery for Azure Virtual Desktop. After completing this module, you'll be able to:
For Azure Virtual Desktop issues, check Azure Advisor first. Azure Advisor will give you directions for how to solve the problem or at least point you toward a resource that can help.
After completing this module, you'll be able to:

Successful Azure Virtual Desktop administrators start this role with experience in networking, compute, storage, and business continuity solutions. Before attending this course, students must have previous experience deploying or administering Azure resources and conceptual knowledge of:
Candidates for this exam are server or desktop administrators with subject matter expertise in designing, implementing, managing, and maintaining Microsoft Azure Virtual Desktop experiences and remote apps for any device.
To deliver these experiences, they work closely with Azure administrators, Azure architects, Microsoft 365 administrators, and Azure security engineers.
Candidates should have experience with Azure technologies, including virtualization, networking, identity, storage, and resiliency. They should be able to manage end-user desktop environments, including delivering applications and configuring user settings. These professionals use the Azure portal, templates, scripting, and command-line tools to manage an Azure Virtual Desktop deployment.
