Question

You are designing application delivery for a pooled AVD host pool running Windows 11 multi-session. The requirement is that applications must NOT be permanently installed on the session hosts, must be attached dynamically at user sign-in, and the golden image must remain unchanged when new app versions are released. Your team also wants Microsoft to handle the application registration and staging process automatically rather than managing it through custom PowerShell scripts. Which application delivery method best meets these requirements?

Accepted Answer

Use App attach, assigning the application package to the host pool so that Azure Virtual Desktop manages package staging and registration for users at sign-in.

Answer

Install the applications directly into the golden image using the Azure VM Image Builder and redeploy session hosts on each app update.

Answer

Publish the applications as RemoteApp programs from a separate desktop application group referencing the installed software.

Answer

Deploy the applications with Intune Win32 app packages targeted at the session host device group.
