Suggested Answer: B,D Vote an answer
Scenario:
Security Requirements
*-> All the Azure Virtual Desktop session hosts deployed by using the VM1 source image must be onboarded to Microsoft Defender for Endpoint.
(The Azure Virtual Desktop deployment will provide access to a custom app named App1.)
[D] Need to generalize VM1 and use as a source image.
[B] It's possible to onboard Azure Virtual Desktop (AVD) session hosts to Microsoft Defender for Endpoint using a Group Policy Object (GPO) and a script stored in a shared location. This method leverages the GPO's ability to deploy scripts to devices and ensures a consistent onboarding process for your AVD infrastructure.
