This course teaches Azure administrators how to plan, deliver, and manage virtual desktop experiences and remote apps, for any device, on Azure. Lessons include implementing and managing networking for Azure Virtual Desktop, configuring host pools and session hosts, creating session host images, implementing, and managing FSLogix, monitoring Azure Virtual Desktop performance and health, and automating Azure Virtual Desktop management tasks. Students will learn through a mix of demonstrations and hands-on lab experiences deploying virtual desktop experiences and apps on Azure Virtual Desktop and optimizing them to run in multi-session virtual environments. Candidates of this course must have solid Azure administration skills. This course assumes prior experience, including virtualization, networking, identity, storage, backup and restore, and disaster recovery. Students should have knowledge of on-premises virtual desktop infrastructure technologies as they relate to migrating to Azure Virtual Desktop. Students are expected to have used the tools common to the Azure environment, such as the Azure PowerShell and Cloud Shell.
About our Certification Fast Track Training
With our Certification Fast Track Training, you participate in official Microsoft training - but instead of a full week from Monday to Friday, the training is split into two smaller sections.
The Instructor-led part of the training is focused on hands on and best practices. The theoretical part of the courseware will be studied self-paced, in order not to loose precious practice time during your instructor led training days. Exam preparation is an important part of this training delivery - hence we include a Practice Test which will ensure that you will start your exam well prepared. To complete the offer the Exam Voucher is already included as well.
As a participant, you can use the time in between the training days to deepen or repeat content. In addition, you have the advantage of not being absent from work for an entire week, so that day-to-day business is not neglected.
Process of Certification Fast Track Training
After your registration you will receive an introduction to the program. You will also receive reminder e-mails from us along the way.

After completing this course, students will be able to:
Course Outline
Module 1: Azure Virtual Desktop Architecture
Azure Virtual Desktop manages the infrastructure and brokering components, while customers manage their own desktop host virtual machines (VMs) and clients. Microsoft manages the Remote Connection Gateway, and Connection Broker services as part of Azure.
Learning objectives
After completing this module, you'll be able to:
Module 2: Design the Azure Virtual Desktop architecture
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.
Learning objectives
After completing this module, you'll be able to:
Module 3: Design for user identities and profiles
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.
Learning objectives
After completing this module, you'll be able to:
Module 4: Implement and manage networking for Azure Virtual Desktop
See how to monitor and repair health of their Azure Virtual Desktop including virtual machines, virtual networks, application gateways, and load balancers.
Learning objectives
After completing this module, you'll be able to:
Module 5: Implement and manage storage for Azure Virtual Desktop
FSLogix roams profiles in remote computing environments, such as Azure Virtual Desktop. You set up a FSLogix profile container share for a host pool using a virtual machine-based file share.
Learning objectives
After completing this module, you'll be able to:
Module 6: Create and configure host pools and session hosts for Azure Virtual Desktop
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.
Learning objectives
After completing this module, you'll be able to:
Module 7: Create and manage session host image for Azure Virtual Desktop
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.
Learning objectives
After completing this module, you'll be able to:
Module 8: Manage access for Azure Virtual Desktop
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.
Learning objectives
After completing this module, you'll be able to:
Module 9: Manage security for Azure Virtual Desktop
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.
Learning objectives
After completing this module, you'll be able to:
Module 10: Implement and manage FSLogix
A user profile contains data elements about a user information like desktop settings, persistent network connections, and application settings.
Learning objectives
After completing this module, you'll be able to:
Module 11: Configure user experience settings
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.
Learning objectives
After completing this module, you'll be able to:
Module 12: Install and configure apps on a session host
MSIX app attach is a way to deliver MSIX applications to both physical and virtual machines. MSIX app attach is different from regular MSIX because it’s specifically for Azure Virtual Desktop.
Learning objectives
After completing this module, you'll be able to:
Module 13: Plan for disaster recovery
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.
Learning objectives
After completing this module, you'll be able to:
Module 14: Automate Azure Virtual Desktop management tasks
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.
Learning objectives
Disaster Recovery for Azure Virtual DesktopAfter completing this module, you'll be able to:
Module 15: Monitor and manage performance and health
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 towards a resource that can help.
