Question

Your company runs an Azure Virtual Desktop pooled host pool on Windows 11 multi-session, using FSLogix profile containers stored on an Azure NetApp Files (ANF) volume. The infrastructure team wants to co-host a separate departmental data share on the SAME ANF capacity pool that must be simultaneously accessible from both the Windows session hosts (SMB) and a set of Linux analytics VMs (NFSv3), with a single identity source for permissions. Which ANF configuration meets the requirement while keeping FSLogix on a supported protocol?

Accepted Answer

Create the FSLogix volume as an SMB volume joined to Active Directory, and create a separate dual-protocol (NFSv3/SMB) volume in the same capacity pool for the departmental share.

Answer

Store the FSLogix profile containers on the dual-protocol volume and mount it over NFSv3 from the session hosts to reduce SMB overhead.

Answer

Create a single NFSv4.1 volume and mount it from both Windows and Linux clients so all data shares one protocol.

Answer

Place the FSLogix containers and the departmental share on the same SMB-only volume and expose it to the Linux VMs using an Azure Files NFS gateway.
