Introduction
This abbreviated one-day course teaches Azure administrators how to plan, deliver, and manage virtual desktop experiences and remote apps, for any device, on Azure. Summarized 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 condensed demonstrations deploying virtual desktop experiences on Azure Virtual Desktop and running in multi-session virtual environments. This course assumes familiarity with Azure Virtual Desktop, 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 tools common to the Azure environment, such as the Azure PowerShell and Cloud Shell.

Course content
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.
Lessons: |
|
By the end of 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. Lessons: |
|
By the end of 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.
Lessons: |
|
By the end of 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.
Lesson: |
|
By the end of 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.
Lesson: |
|
By the end of 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.
Lesson: |
|
By the end of this module, you’ll be able to: |
|
Module 7: Create and manage session host image for Azure Virtual Desktop |
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.
Lesson: |
|
By the end of 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.
Lesson: |
|
By the end of this module, you’ll be able to: |
|
Module 9: Manage access 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.
Lesson: |
|
By the end of 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.
Lesson: |
|
By the end of 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.
Lesson: |
|
By the end of 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.
Lesson: |
|
By the end of 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.
Lesson: |
|
By the end of 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.
Lesson: |
|
By the end of 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.
Lesson: |
