Question 1 Deploying Citrix Virtual Apps and Desktops

A network team is writing firewall rules between the Delivery Controllers and the VDAs of an on-premises site. They ask which port the Controller's Broker Service uses to talk to the Broker Agent on each VDA. What should you answer?

  1. TCP 443 only, because the Broker Agent requires TLS
  2. TCP 80, with no option to switch this channel to TCP 443
  3. TCP 80 or TCP 443, selected during Controller installation
  4. TCP 1494, the same port that carries the ICA session
Show the answer and the explanation

Correct answer: B

The technical overview states that the Broker Service communicates with the Broker Agent on the VDAs over TCP port 80 and does not have the option to use TCP port 443.

Question 2 Providing Resources to End Users

After a Machine Creation Services (MCS) catalog is created, a storage administrator notices that every new VM has, among its disks, a small 16 MB disk of its own. He asks what this disk is for. What should you answer?

  1. It stores the writes made to the VM while it runs
  2. It gives each VM its own unique identity
  3. It is the read-only copy of the snapshot shared by the VMs
  4. It is the write-back cache used by Citrix Provisioning
Show the answer and the explanation

Correct answer: B

The MCS catalog creation summary describes a unique 16 MB identity disk that gives each VM a unique identity.

Question 3 Providing Access to App and Desktop Resources

A StoreFront server group has three servers behind a load balancer. An administrator changed the store settings in the management console on SF01. Users who land on SF02 and SF03 still get the old behavior. What should the administrator do?

  1. Wait for the server group to replicate the configuration automatically
  2. Open the management console on SF02 and SF03 and repeat the change there
  3. Run the Propagate Changes task on SF01
  4. Remove SF02 and SF03 from the group and join them again
Show the answer and the explanation

Correct answer: C

Propagate Changes updates all other servers in the group to match the current server, and propagation is initiated manually.

Question 4 Citrix Virtual Apps and Desktops Basic Security Considerations

The Lyon service desk must log users off, send messages and restart machines in the Lyon delivery groups only. It must not add or remove machines or change delivery group settings. Which role and scope pair should be assigned to the service desk group?

  1. Delivery Group Administrator with a Lyon scope
  2. Read Only Administrator with the All scope
  3. Help Desk Administrator with a Lyon scope
  4. Full Administrator with a Lyon scope
Show the answer and the explanation

Correct answer: C

The Help Desk Administrator can view delivery groups and manage the sessions and machines associated with them, including power operations, without changing the groups; the Lyon scope limits this to Lyon objects.

Question 5 Monitoring Citrix Virtual Apps and Desktops Deployments

Which statement about alerts displayed in Citrix Director is correct?

  1. They are available on every site edition and refresh only when an administrator clicks Refresh
  2. They are generated by Citrix Scout health checks and uploaded to Citrix Insight Services
  3. They are available only when Director is installed on the same server as a Delivery Controller
  4. They are available for Premium licensed sites and update automatically every minute
Show the answer and the explanation

Correct answer: D

Director alerts are available for Premium licensed sites; they update automatically every minute and can also be updated on demand.

Question 6 Troubleshooting

A help desk agent tries to shadow a connected user on a Windows single-session VDA from Director, but the shadowing session cannot be established. Which prerequisite on the VDA should be checked first?

  1. The python websockify and x11vnc packages are installed on the VDA
  2. The Director server is listed in the VDA's ListOfDDCs registry value
  3. The WebSocket wss:// protocol is configured between Director and the VDA
  4. The Windows Remote Assistance feature was enabled when the VDA was installed
Show the answer and the explanation

Correct answer: D

Windows VDA sessions are shadowed using Windows Remote Assistance, and the documentation asks to enable the Windows Remote Assistance feature while installing the VDA.

Question 7 Printing

On multi-session VDAs, each user has 10 to 15 printers mapped on the endpoint, and logons are slow. Users only ever print to their default printer, which is usually a network printer. Which value of the Auto-create client printers policy setting fits best?

  1. Auto-create all client printers
  2. Auto-create local (non-network) client printers only
  3. Auto-create the client's default printer only
  4. Do not auto-create client printers
Show the answer and the explanation

Correct answer: C

This option creates only the printer selected as the default on the user device, and Citrix suggests auto-creating only the default client printer when users have many printers.

Question 8 PowerShell

An administrator opens a PowerShell console on a Delivery Controller and wants to run Get-BrokerSite. What does the documentation say about loading the Citrix Virtual Apps and Desktops SDK there?

  1. It is installed as a PowerShell module with the Controller, so its cmdlets can be used without adding snap-ins
  2. It must be downloaded separately from Citrix Downloads before any broker cmdlet can run
  3. It is available only as a snap-in, so Add-PSSnapin must always be run first
  4. It can only be used from the PowerShell tab of the Director console
Show the answer and the explanation

Correct answer: A

The SDK installs automatically as a PowerShell module when a Delivery Controller or Studio is installed, so its cmdlets are usable without adding snap-ins; Add-PSSnapin is only needed if you choose the snap-in.

Question 9 Citrix Cloud

A company is connecting its data center to Citrix DaaS. The security team refuses any inbound connection from the internet. What does the documentation state about Cloud Connector communication and high availability in a resource location?

  1. Connectors accept inbound HTTPS from Citrix Cloud; one connector per resource location is enough
  2. Connectors need inbound TCP 443 and TCP 80; two connectors must be load balanced manually
  3. Connectors use outbound HTTPS on TCP 443 only; at least two are required for high availability
  4. Connectors use outbound TCP 1494 and 2598; at least three are required per resource location
Show the answer and the explanation

Correct answer: C

All connections are established from the Cloud Connector to the cloud over the standard HTTPS port 443, no incoming internet connections are accepted, and at least two connectors per resource location are required for a highly available connection.

A database administrator is planning storage for a new Citrix Virtual Apps and Desktops site. She expects one of the site's SQL Server databases to grow with session and connection history that the help desk will display in Director. Which database is it?

  1. The site (site configuration) database
  2. The configuration logging database
  3. The monitoring database
  4. The Local Host Cache database on each Controller
