QuestionQ163

Plan and implement user environments and apps

You have an Azure Virtual Desktop host pool named Pool1, an application named App1, and an Azure file share named Share1.

You need to ensure that you can publish App1 to Pool1 by using MSIX app attach.

Which four actions should you perform, in sequence, before you publish App1? Move the appropriate actions to the answer area and arrange them in the correct order.

Drag & Drop
Create an MSIX image.
Generate a signing certificate.
Upload the MSIX package to Share1.
Generate an encryption certificate.
Create an MSIX package.
Upload the MSIX image to Share1.
Step 1
Step 2
Step 3
Step 4
Explanation

To enable MSIX app attach for App1 on Pool1, the application must first exist as an MSIX package (created from the installer using the MSIX Packaging Tool if it isn't already packaged). MSIX packages must be signed, so a signing certificate must be generated (or acquired) and used to sign the package, and the corresponding certificate must later be trusted on the session hosts. The signed package is then converted into an MSIX image (a VHD, VHDX, or CIM container) using the msixmgr tool, since Azure Virtual Desktop app attach mounts images rather than raw MSIX packages. Finally, that MSIX image is uploaded to the Azure file share (Share1) so that it's accessible to the session hosts in Pool1, which is a prerequisite before the package/image can be added and published to the host pool via the Azure portal or PowerShell.
