Host 1 should be Windows Server 2019 Datacenter - x64 Gen2, because 1. Trusted launch only works with Gen2 2. RDS session host role is not included in Server Core. So it doesn't support 15 concurrent users. https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-server/administration/server-core/server-core-removed-roles

This is a bad Question! Fist off, you cannot have mixed OS versions in the same host Pool. So the premise that you plan to deploy the two prescribed hosts to HostPool1 is flawed from the start. https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/virtual-desktop/prerequisites?tabs=portal If you have existing session hosts in the host pool, make a note of the virtual machine size, the image, and name prefix that was used. All session hosts in a host pool should be the same configuration, including the same identity provider. For example, a host pool shouldn't contain some session hosts joined to Azure AD and some session hosts joined to an Active Directory domain. Next the answer given is wrong for Host1. As Leocan mentioned Server core does not support RDP or any visual interface only command line. So it wouldn't be used for AVD https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/virtual-desktop/prerequisites?tabs=portal#operating-systems-and-licenses

It is recommendation that you should not have mixed OS in same host pool. Not limit, just a bad design still. So I agree that not the best question but possible

These guys crack me up. Server core does not have a GUI. I don't think it even contains explorer.exe.
