You have an Azure subscription that contains the virtual machines shown in the following table.
You plan to implement Azure Automanage for Windows Server.
You need to identify the operating system prerequisites.
Which virtual machines support Hotpatch, and which virtual machines support SMB over QUIC? To answer, select the appropriate options in the answer area.
NOTE: Each correct selection is worth one point.
The suggested answer is correct
To use SMB over QUIC, you need the following things:
- An SMB server running on one of the following operating systems.
- Windows Server 2022 Datacenter: Azure Edition (Microsoft Server Operating Systems) or later
- Any edition of Windows Server 2025 or later
- A Windows 11 device (Windows for business)
The following table lists the exact combinations of publisher, OS offer, and SKU that support Hotpatching for Windows Server 2022 and Windows Server 2025 on Azure. Virtual machines (VMs) you create on Azure Local using these combinations also support Hotpatching.
Note
Windows Server container base images, custom images, or any other combination of publisher, offer, and SKU aren't supported.
Not all regions currently support Windows Server 2025: Azure Edition images. If you try to use this feature in a region that doesn't currently support Windows Server 2025: Azure Edition, you might see an HTTP 400 client error. To work around this issue, use a different region that does currently support this feature, such as UK South, East Asia, or West Central US.

According to your link, all versions of Win Server 2022 support Hotpatch, but not Win Serv 2019, so first answer is VM1 + VM2 + VM3 Only Win Serv 2022 Datacenter Azure edition supports SMB over QUIC, so only VM1 + VM2 for the second answer

Windows Server 2022 is the latest Long-Term Servicing Channel (LTSC) release with five years of mainstream support + five years of extended support. Choose the image that is right for your application needs. - Server with Desktop Experience includes all roles and a graphical user interface (GUI). Server Core omits the GUI for a smaller OS footprint. - Azure Edition with Desktop Experience- includes additional new functionality such as >>Hotpatch, SMB over QUIC<<, extended network for Azure, and is optimized to run in Azure. - Azure Edition Core - includes additional new functionality such as >>Hotpatch, SMB over QUIC<<, extended network for Azure, and is optimized to run in Azure. So answer is "VM1" & "VM2" for both instances.
