What Should You Configure Next for an FSLogix Profile Container?
Answer
Correct answer: C — Configure the FSLogix Profiles setting on Pool1's session hosts to point to the UNC path of share1 on storage1.
You have an Azure Active Directory Domain Services (Azure AD DS) domain named contoso.com. You have an Azure Storage account named storage1. Storage1 hosts a file share named share1 that has share and file system permissions configured. Share1 is configured to use contoso.com for authentication. You create an Azure Virtual Desktop host pool named Pool1. Pool1 contains two session hosts that use the Windows 10 multi-session + Microsoft 365 Apps image. You need to configure an FSLogix profile container for Pool1. What should you do next?
Community Insight
This item tests the boundary between FSLogix agent installation and profile-container configuration; the trap is assuming a multi-session image needs the agent installed manually.
The FSLogix agent is preinstalled in the Windows 10 multi-session + Microsoft 365 Apps image, so the next step after preparing share1 is to configure the Profiles settings on Pool1's session hosts. This page establishes that answer C is correct, not installing the agent or generating a SAS key.
The most common wrong answer is A, installing the FSLogix agent again, because the image already includes it and only the profile container path and settings need configuration.

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/fslogix/how-to-configure-profile-containers Before you can configure profile containers using FSLogix, you need: Windows devices you want use with FSLogix, such as Azure Virtual Desktop session hosts. You can use the Azure Virtual Desktop Quickstart to deploy a sample environment for testing. An SMB file share with NTFS and share-level permissions correctly configured, or other supported storage provider. A user account on the local device with administrator privilege in order to configure the registry. The latest version of FSLogix downloaded and installed on the Windows device. Review configuration options.

To configure an FSLogix profile container for your Azure Virtual Desktop host pool, the next step is to install the FSLogix agent on the session hosts. This agent is necessary for managing user profiles and ensuring they are stored in the designated profile container. Therefore, the correct answer is: A. Install the FSLogix agent on the session hosts of Pool1.

FSLogix is pre-insalled and we are using SMB for the vhdx storage. All Hail Megatron!

It's not A because FSLogix comes pre-installed

Windows 10 multi-session is Windows 10 Enterprise multi-session. FSLogix comes pre-installed on all Windows 10 Enterprise multi-session images. The Answer is C.

According to this doc: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/virtual-desktop/fslogix-profile-container-configure-azure-files-active-directory?tabs=adds#configure-session-hosts-to-use-profile-container, it should me ANSWER A. Because it says: FSLogix Apps is preinstalled in Windows 10 Enterprise multi-session and Windows 11 Enterprise multi-session operating systems, but you should still follow the steps below as it might not have the latest version installed: If you need to install or update FSLogix Apps, download the latest version of FSLogix and install it by running FSLogixAppsSetup.exe, then following the instructions in the setup wizard.

Configure the FSLogix profile container To configure FSLogix profile container, do the following on each session host registered to the host pool: Connect to the virtual machine with the credentials you provided when creating the virtual machine. Launch an internet browser and download the FSLogix agent. https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/virtual-desktop/create-host-pools-user-profile

Correct answer is A. FSLogix comes pre-installed on all Windows 10 Enterprise multi-session images, but the IT admin is still responsible for configuring the FSLogix profile container. Agent download is still required and it is first step - https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/virtual-desktop/create-host-pools-user-profile#configure-the-fslogix-profile-container

Answer should be A as per https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/virtual-desktop/create-host-pools-user-profile It says Configure the FSLogix profile container To configure FSLogix profile container, do the following on each session host registered to the host pool: Connect to the virtual machine with the credentials you provided when creating the virtual machine. Launch an internet browser and download the FSLogix agent. Open the downloaded .zip file, navigate to either Win32\Release or x64\Release (depending on your operating system) and run FSLogixAppsSetup to install the FSLogix agent.

The answer is C. All multisession versions of Windows 10/11 desktop images are Enterprise, so FSLogix is installed by default. Just need to configure the profile settings.

Given answer is correct: A Agent is not installed by default on Windows 10. Enterprise is not mentioned in the question.

Enterprise isn't mentioned but it's implied by 'multi session'. Which is mentioned in the question. Answer is C.

fake, you must follow the step of the link and there it says to install or update FSlogix. Answer is A. https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/virtual-desktop/fslogix-profile-container-configure-azure-files-active-directory?tabs=adds#configure-session-hosts%20-to-use-profile-container

It's C because we need to define the (UNC) location of the FSLogix container that will hold all the user profiles. It's not A because FSLogix comes pre-installed on all Windows 10 Enterprise multi-session images (https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/virtual-desktop/windows-10-multisession-faq#which-profile-management-solution-should-i-use-for-windows-10-enterprise-multi-session). It's not B as we're using AD authentication (https://docs.microsoft.com/en-au/azure/storage/common/shared-key-authorization-prevent). It's not D as you cannot map a UNC path in Windows File Explorer with a SAS (you can with an access key but we're using AD auth instead). And even if you could, it would need to expire at some time which would be an additonal management burden.

Why the Answer Is Correct
The share and file-system permissions and contoso.com authentication are already in place, so the remaining FSLogix task is to define the profile container location and related settings on the session hosts. In AVD, Windows 10 Enterprise multi-session images include the FSLogix agent; the administrator still must configure the Profiles settings, typically the UNC path to share1 and profile-container options. Option C matches that configuration step and is the action that makes the prepared SMB share usable for user profiles. This is why the answer is C rather than a deployment or storage-key operation.Why the Other Options Are Wrong
A is wrong because installing the FSLogix agent is not required on the Windows 10 multi-session + Microsoft 365 Apps image; the agent binaries are present by default. B is wrong because shared key access is an Azure Storage authorization setting for storage account keys and does not configure FSLogix profile containers, especially when SMB authentication is already set to contoso.com. D is wrong because a SAS key is not used by FSLogix SMB profile containers in this scenario; share1 already has AD DS-based authentication and permissions. None of these options sets the profile container UNC path or the Profiles settings that FSLogix needs.Community Comment Notes
KFM2020 explained that the Profiles setting is needed to define the UNC location of the FSLogix container and noted that FSLogix is preinstalled on multi-session images. LeGluten quoted Microsoft's FAQ saying the admin is "still responsible for configuring the FSLogix profile container," and TafMuko noted that multi-session images are Enterprise and include FSLogix. Some learners voted for A by citing general FSLogix setup documentation, but those steps apply when the agent is absent or when walking through a full deployment, not to this prebuilt image scenario. The useful consensus is that the remaining work is configuration, not installation.Official Reference
Exam Strategy
In AZ-140 FSLogix questions, first confirm whether the image is Windows 10/11 Enterprise multi-session, because that changes the next step from installing the agent to configuring profile settings. Then verify the SMB share permissions and identity source before selecting any storage-key or SAS option.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why is installing the FSLogix agent not the next step on this multi-session host?
The Windows 10 multi-session image already includes the FSLogix agent; the administrator still must configure the profile container path and settings.
Does share1 need a SAS key or shared key access for FSLogix profiles?
No. FSLogix uses SMB with contoso.com authentication plus share and NTFS permissions, so a SAS key or shared-key change is unrelated.
