Scenario: While assessing the User Layer, a Citrix Architect finds that most of the internal users connect using corporate-owned laptops, desktop devices, and thin clients. Many of these laptops and desktop devices are running Windows 10, while the remainder of the machines are running Windows 7 and are in the process of being migrated to Windows 10. Some users also connect using personal devices.

Currently, Citrix Receiver is manually installed on any endpoint device added to the company. All these devices use Citrix Receiver version 4.8 and above. Some of the internal users with Windows laptops are experiencing issues in which devices such as a keyboard, mouse, a monitor connected to a docking station or a USB hub are NOT usable in an HDX session.

Which action should the architect recommend to provide a uniform user experience for all users?

Scenario: A Citrix Architect needs to design a new XenApp and XenDesktop environment. Citrix Provisioning Services has been selected for image management.

Which two RAID levels should the architect use for the storage hosting the Provisioning Service write cache? (Choose two.)

Currently, Citrix Receiver is manually installed on any endpoint device added to the company. All these devices use Citrix Receiver version 4.8 and above. The IT team is planning to automate a process to update all the devices with the latest version of Citrix Receiver and to automate another process for automatic installation of Citrix Receiver without incurring extra costs and maintenance.

What should the architect recommend to upgrade Citrix Receivers for internal Windows endpoints?

Scenario: A Citrix Architect needs to design a new XenApp and XenDesktop environment. The customer previously installed all applications locally on managed laptops and desktops but is willing to evaluate other application delivery methods as part of the new deployment. The environment will be standardized on Windows 10 and Windows Server 2016 for the Virtual Delivery Agent (VDA) machines.

As part of an application analysis performed earlier in the project, the information shown in the Exhibit was collected regarding one of the required applications.

Additionally, the customer has the following objectives:

– Minimize the amount of additional infrastructure components.

– Utilize thin clients as endpoints in order to reduce costs.

– Users should NOT have direct access to the thin client operating system.

How should the architect install the application?

Scenario: A Citrix Architect is designing an environment for a large company. The company has identified the following user groups and requirements.

– Product Managers – Typically, they work from inside the company network but are able to work from home. They need to use a variety of standard productivity and web-based SaaS applications.

– Field Sales Engineers – They frequently work with mobile devices and tend to access the environment externally. They need access to sales tools and the front-end of the customer database.

– Web Developers – Internal and remote workers who use specialized hardware with a graphics card to handle resource-intensive applications.

Which FlexCast model should the architect assign to Field Sales Engineers?

Scenario: A Citrix Architect is designing a XenDesktop environment. The Engineer group uses graphical applications which require the use of Intel Iris Pro GPUs.

Which two hypervisors can the architect select for this environment? (Choose two.)

Scenario: A Citrix Architect needs to design a new XenApp and XenDesktop environment. The design will require three different StoreFront Stores and three corresponding Citrix Receiver for Web sites. Each different Store and Citrix Receiver for Web site will serve different business units. Each of these will also require their own branding and SSL certificate. The solution should remain supported by Citrix.

The architect has already installed StoreFront on a server.

How can the architect achieve the desired design while keeping cost and maintenance requirements as low as possible?

Scenario: A Citrix Architect has designed an active/passive XenApp and XenDesktop environment for a customer, where the passive datacenter serves as the disaster recovery datacenter for all users.

The following has been configured:

– NetScaler Global Server Load Balancing (GSLB) to provide single URL direction to the active datacenter.

– GSLB has health monitors configured for the load balanced servers.

– NetScaler Gateways are on both datacenters.

– NetScaler load balancing occurs for StoreFront and Delivery Controller XML services.

– A single XenApp and XenDesktop Site exists.

– Four Delivery Controllers are members of the Site.

– Two Delivery Controllers are members of the primary zone in the active datacenter.

– Two Delivery Controllers are members of the satellite zone in the passive datacenter.

– SQL is deployed in the active datacenter.

– Local Host Cache is enabled.

– Two StoreFront servers are deployed in each datacenter aggregating resources from the Delivery Controllers in the respective datacenter.

– Virtual Delivery Agent (VDA) machines are deployed in both datacenters and configured to register with Delivery Controllers in their zone.

What would happen if the SQL Server in the primary datacenter were turned off?

Scenario: A large retail environment includes a StoreFront server group with two servers, each with 2 vCPUs and 4 GB of RAM. The server group handles about 25,000 user connections per hour, with a majority of the users accessing the environment using native Receiver. Workspace Control has been disabled for the environment.

A Citrix Architect learns that the company will soon merge with another retail chain. The XenApp and XenDesktop environment must double its capacity, and the StoreFront server group is expected to handle about 40,000 user connections per hour.

What should the architect do to meet the expected load while maintaining high availability with optimal resource allocation for the StoreFront component?
