Question

You have an Azure Virtual Desktop host pool. The pool contains session hosts that run Windows 10 Enterprise multi-session. You connect to a Remote Desktop session on Pool1 and discover an issue with the frequency of screen updates. You need to identify whether the issue related to insufficient server, network, or client resources. The solution must minimize how long it takes to identify the resource type. What should you do?

Explanation

Performance Monitor (perfmon.exe), run from within the active RDS session, provides real-time counters for RemoteFX Graphics (encoding time, frames skipped), network throughput, and CPU/memory - all from within the same session experiencing the issue. This is the fastest approach because you are already in the affected session and can immediately observe relevant metrics without switching tools or running remote PowerShell commands. Azure Virtual Desktop Experience Estimator (Choice A) only estimates network suitability before connecting, not during an active session. The PowerShell cmdlets (B/C) focus on session metadata, not performance counters.
