Question
You have an Azure Virtual Desktop deployment that contains the host pools shown in the following table. You need to create a disaster recovery environment in the West US region. The solution must minimize costs and administrative effort. What should you do?
Options
- ARegenerate the token and reregister the virtual machines in the host pools.
- BCreate two new host pools in the West US region.
- CRun the Invoke-RdsUserSessionLogoff cmdlet.
- DCreate an Azure Site Recovery plan.

Why each option
To create a disaster recovery environment for Azure Virtual Desktop host pools in a different region while minimizing costs and administrative effort, an Azure Site Recovery plan should be used.
Regenerating tokens and reregistering VMs is a management task, not a disaster recovery solution, and would imply re-deploying or extensively reconfiguring VMs, which is inefficient for DR.
Creating two new host pools manually in the West US region would be administratively intensive, require separate ongoing management, and potentially incur higher continuous costs, failing to minimize effort or cost.
The `Invoke-RdsUserSessionLogoff` cmdlet is used to log off user sessions from AVD session hosts and is entirely unrelated to establishing a disaster recovery environment.
Creating an Azure Site Recovery plan enables automated replication of the session host virtual machines to the West US region, significantly minimizing administrative effort for both initial setup and ongoing management. This solution is also cost-effective as you primarily pay for storage, with compute costs incurred only during a disaster failover, fulfilling the requirements for a robust yet efficient DR environment.
