Exam 7: Citrix Virtual Apps and Desktops 7 Assessment, Design and Advanced Configurations

Scenario: The IT team of a company configured its Citrix environment on Microsoft Azure. Load on the servers is nominal during the off season, but during peak season, load increases on the infrastructure servers. This load varies from year to year. A Citrix Architect is asked to design a solution that dynamically increases and decreases the number of infrastructure servers. What should the architect recommend the IT team create in Microsoft Azure to meet this demand?

Scenario: A Citrix Architect is designing a pod-based architecture in a Citrix Virtual Apps and Desktops environment. The plan is to create three pods for different Resource Layer types: - Windows 10 VDI (non-persistent) - Windows Server 2016 hosted shared desktops (non-persistent) - Windows 10 VDI (persistent) Which three components can be shared between the three pods? (Choose three.)

Scenario: A Citrix Architect is designing a Citrix Virtual Desktops environment. The Engineer Group requires NVIDIA hardware with shared virtualized GPUs due to its use of graphical applications. Management wants to use 4 components within the Citrix Virtual Desktops environment to meet these requirements: NVIDIA GRID Tesla P40 GPUs Microsoft Hyper-V Server 2012 R2 Windows 10 virtual machines (VMs) Citrix Virtual Desktops 7 Which component must the architect change to implement this use case?

Scenario: An automobile manufacturer in Germany has deployed a Citrix Virtual Apps and Desktops solution for its employees using Citrix Cloud and uses a resource location in Germany. Recently, they acquired an automobile manufacturer in Japan. Since then, users from Japan have reported issues regarding slowness and degraded performance of the application hosted in the German resource location. How can a Citrix Architect improve the performance of the application for users in Japan?

Scenario: A Citrix Architect is designing a new Citrix Virtual Apps and Desktops environment. Citrix Provisioning (PVS) has been selected for image management. The PVS vDisk store requires high fault tolerance and the ability to support dual drive failure. Which RAID level could the architect use for the PVS vDisk store?

Scenario: Engineers at a new company developed their product and infrastructure in Microsoft Azure. The engineers have reached out to a Citrix Architect to help design an Azure infrastructure to support publishing applications using the Citrix Virtual Apps and Desktops service. Costs need to be kept to a minimum. Which Azure virtual machine (VM) series provides the lowest cost per user while also providing good performance?

Scenario: A Citrix Architect is designing a multi-data center Citrix Virtual Apps and Desktops environment that will use Citrix Provisioning (PVS) to manage Virtual Delivery Agent (VDA) machine images. Each data center will have a separate PVS farm. During design discussions, the architect created a diagram to depict the way in which vDisk files will be replicated among PVS farms, based on the available storage for the vDisk stores. Click the Exhibit button to view the diagram. Overall, the customer has identified 3 objectives for the image-replication process: Administrative time required to replicate images among farms must be minimized. The process must be usable by storage administrators without PVS farm administrative permissions. Pre-existing infrastructure and processes should be used where possible. Which method should the architect use to replicate vDisk files among data centers?

A Citrix Architect needs to enable the security of the Virtual Delivery Agent (VDA) by evaluating the 'Enable-VdaSSL.ps1 -Enable' script. Which supported SSL protocol version is least secure when using the default settings of the script?

Scenario: A Citrix Architect is designing a new Citrix Virtual Apps and Desktops environment. While assessing the existing infrastructure, the architect determined that a number of users utilize legacy USB print devices that they will continue to need locally and within HDX sessions. The current HDX-optimized print virtual channel will NOT support these devices, so the architect decides that the Generic USB redirection channel should be used. Which two factors must the architect consider when using Generic USB redirection? (Choose two.)

Scenario: A Citrix Architect is designing a new Citrix Virtual Apps and Desktops environment for a company that maintains branch offices in New York, Chicago, and Miami. Management has described the following requirements for the environment: The Citrix Virtual Apps and Desktops Site must be located in the company headquarters in Miami. All users will only need to access their default local print queue from within their HDX sessions. Users in Chicago need access to printers hosted on a Citrix Universal Print Server located in New York. Printing performance and bandwidth usage must be optimized where possible. The environment must be highly available. The auto-created client printer models must function with no additional configuration needed. Click the Exhibit button to review the printing requirements. What does the architect need to do to meet the printing requirements for the users in Chicago?

Scenario: A Citrix Architect is designing a new Citrix Virtual Apps and Desktops environment. Currently, the environment is configured as 2 locations with identical Citrix Virtual Desktops Sites. Each Site has 2 Delivery Controllers, 2 StoreFront servers, and 1 Citrix ADC high-availability pair. The same applications have been published from both Sites for all users. Two zones (Zone A and Zone B) are configured in each Site with 1 Delivery Controller in each zone. The Microsoft Exchange server is only accessible from Virtual Delivery Agent (VDA) machines in Zone A in each Site. Six access requirements have been identified: Users should have a single URL when accessing resources from different Sites. Users should always connect to the data center closest to their location. Applications added to Favorites within the Citrix Workspace app should be retained when accessed from different Sites. Launched applications and desktops should always connect through a local Citrix ADC. No duplication of applications published from different Sites. Microsoft Outlook should always launch in Zone A. What should the architect recommend configuring subscription synchronization to retain applications added to Favorites?
