An organization plans Windows client AVD desktops for its employees. The employees already have qualifying Microsoft 365 licenses. What should the cost estimate include?

✓ Correct answer

• Azure infrastructure and separately required application costs in addition to the existing qualifying user licenses.

Windows client user access licensing and Azure infrastructure are separate cost layers. Budget compute, storage, networking, monitoring and any additional application rights. Option explanations: A. Azure infrastructure and separately required application costs in addition to the existing qualifying user licenses.: Qualifying access rights do not include the Azure resources or every application used by the desktop. B. RDS CALs for every Windows client user solely because the pool is shared.: RDS CAL requirements described here apply to Windows Server session hosts, not this eligible client scenario. C. No Azure infrastructure costs because the user entitlement includes session-host VMs.: Compute and associated resources remain billable. D. External commercial per-user access pricing as the replacement for employee licensing.: That licensing option is for qualifying external commercial scenarios, not replacing internal-user entitlement.
