Question 100
An Azure Virtual Desktop deployment is being redesigned to let a managed domain joined deployment authenticate to profile storage using the managed domain. Which approach should be prioritized?
Explanation
Correct Answer
Azure Files supports SMB authentication with Entra Domain Services. This addresses the stated need to let a managed domain joined deployment authenticate to profile storage using the managed domain without substituting a different control.
Incorrect Answers
Modern AES service-ticket support is required under updated Windows defaults. This is relevant when the task is to avoid profile authentication failures after the Windows Kerberos RC4-to-AES hardening change; it does not directly meet the requirement to let a managed domain joined deployment authenticate to profile storage using the managed domain.
Entra Kerberos provides identity-based SMB authentication for supported host/user combinations. This is relevant when the task is to authenticate supported Microsoft Entra joined AVD hosts to a profile SMB share without routine domain-controller line-of-sight; it does not directly meet the requirement to let a managed domain joined deployment authenticate to profile storage using the managed domain.
VHDLocations determines where profile containers are found or created. This is relevant when the task is to direct a user's container to the approved SMB share rather than a local system drive; it does not directly meet the requirement to let a managed domain joined deployment authenticate to profile storage using the managed domain.
