A. B. C. D. E.Correct Answer: D
Azure offers many storage solutions that can be used to store FSLogix profile containers.
Azure files are the recommended storage solution to store FSLogix profile containers.
Option A is incorrect.
https://fsprofile.file.core.windows.net/share1Option B is incorrect.
Instead of a blob, Azure files should be used.
Option C is incorrect.
Instead of a blob, Azure files are the recommended choice.
Option D is correct.
\\fsprofile.file.core.windows.net\share1 is the correct path to be used.

In Azure Virtual Desktop, FSLogix is commonly used for user profile management in non-persistent environments. FSLogix stores user profiles in virtual hard disks (VHDs) within a file share, and these VHDs can be stored in an Azure Storage account.
To configure the path to the storage containers for the session hosts, we need to provide the correct URL format for accessing the storage account and the share where the FSLogix profile containers are stored.
Option A (https://fsprofile.file.core.windows.net/share1) and Option D (\fsprofile.file.core.windows.net\share1) both include the file.core.windows.net endpoint, which is used for accessing Azure Files shares. However, the correct endpoint for blob storage is blob.core.windows.net. Therefore, Options A and D can be eliminated.
Option B (\fsprofile.blob.core.windows.net\share1) uses the correct endpoint for accessing blob storage, but it uses the incorrect URL format. The correct URL format for accessing blob storage is https://<account-name>.blob.core.windows.net/<container-name>. Therefore, Option B can be eliminated.
Option C (https://fsprofile.blob.core.windows.net/share1) uses the correct endpoint and the correct URL format for accessing blob storage. Therefore, Option C is the correct answer.
In summary, the correct path to the storage containers for the session hosts is: https://fsprofile.blob.core.windows.net/share1.
