A. B. C. D.

Correct Answer: B

Here are some general recommended practices/guidelines for FSLogix profile containers: For the best performance, the profile container and the storage solution should exist in the same data center location.

To evade the performance bottlenecks, don't include the VHD(X) documents for FSLogix profile containers in antivirus scanning.

In the case of 2 active sessions, use a different profile container for each host pool.

Option A is incorrect.

One of the best practices is that the FSLogix profile container and the storage solution should exist in the same data center location for better performance.

Option B is correct.

The recommended practice is to have the FSLogix profile container and the storage solution in the data center location, not the different ones.

Option C is incorrect.

Not including the VHD(X) documents for FSLogix profile containers in antivirus scanning to evade performance bottlenecks is one of the best practices.

Option D is incorrect.

Using a different profile container for each host pool in the case of 2 active sessions is one of the best practices.

The correct answer is B. FSLogix profile container and the storage solution should be in different data center locations for better performance.

Explanation: FSLogix Profile Container is a technology that enables faster load times for user profiles in Azure Virtual Desktop. It stores the user profile data in a virtual hard disk (VHD) file that can be mounted at logon and unmounted at logoff. This approach ensures that user profiles are not only stored in a centralized location but are also easily accessible by users.

Regarding the options provided:

A. FSLogix profile container and the storage solution should be in the same data center location for better performance.

This option is a recommended practice as keeping the FSLogix profile container and the storage solution in the same data center location helps to reduce latency and ensures faster access to user profiles.

B. FSLogix profile container and the storage solution should be in different data center locations for better performance.

This option is not a recommended practice as keeping the FSLogix profile container and the storage solution in different data center locations can increase latency and cause performance issues.

C. Not including the VHD(X) documents for FSLogix profile containers in antivirus scanning to evade performance bottlenecks.

This option is a recommended practice as including VHD(X) documents for FSLogix profile containers in antivirus scanning can cause performance bottlenecks.

D. In the case of 2 active sessions, use a different profile container for each host pool.

This option is a recommended practice as using a different profile container for each host pool ensures that user profiles are not corrupted and can be accessed quickly by users.

Therefore, option B is the correct answer as it is not a recommended practice for FSLogix profile containers to keep the profile container and the storage solution in different data center locations for better performance.
