Question

You have an Azure subscription named Sub1 and a Microsoft 365 E5 subscription. The tenant contains user accounts for all internal users and users from a partner company named Fabrikam, Inc. Each internal user is assigned a Microsoft 365 E5 license. The users at Fabrikam are not assigned any licenses. Sub1 has an Azure Virtual Desktop deployment that contains a host pool named Pool1. Pool1 contains a RemoteApp named App1. You need to configure access to App1. The solution must meet the following requirements:

  • The Fabrikam users must be licensed by using Per-user access pricing.
  • App1 must be accessible to all the internal and Fabrikam users.
  • Costs must be minimized.

What should you do first?

Options

  • AAdd the Fabrikam users to the application group that contains App1.
  • BAdd a new host pool to Sub1.
  • CAssign a Microsoft 365 F3 license to each Fabrikam user.
  • DAdd a new host pool to a new subscription.

Explanation

Adding the Fabrikam users to the application group that contains App1 is the correct first action because Azure Virtual Desktop automatically applies Per-user access pricing to guest/external users who lack qualifying Microsoft 365 licenses - no separate license assignment is required to satisfy that billing requirement. This single step simultaneously grants App1 access to Fabrikam users while keeping costs minimal, since the existing Pool1 infrastructure handles both internal and external users without any new resources.

Option B (new host pool in Sub1) and Option D (new host pool in a new subscription) are wrong because Pool1 already exists and can serve all users - adding infrastructure is unnecessary and increases cost. Option C (assigning Microsoft 365 F3 to Fabrikam users) directly contradicts the requirement to use Per-user access pricing, and paying per-seat licenses for partner users when Per-user access pricing is available would not minimize costs.

Memory tip: Think of Per-user access pricing as AVD's "guest pass" - it automatically kicks in for unlicensed external users the moment you add them to an application group, so your first move is always to grant access, not to provision new infrastructure or buy licenses.
