Free Practice Questions for Citrix 1Y0-204 Exam

Citrix Gateway can be hosted in Citrix Cloud or in a customer-controlled resource location. It provides secure remote access to Citrix Virtual Apps and Desktops service deployments.

Citrix HDX Insight (part of Citrix ADM / NetScaler MAS) provides deep ICA and HDX analytics, especially for users connecting through NetScaler Gateway. It is the only Citrix tool that delivers:

Per-user ICA round-trip time

Network latency and jitter

Throughput and bandwidth usage

Packet loss

Channel-level analytics (Thinwire, audio, printing, etc.)

Gateway-level connection health

Historical and real-time ICA flow data

This makes it the correct tool for troubleshooting ICA latency specifically for external users entering through NetScaler Gateway.

Why the other options are incorrect:

Citrix Diagnostic Toolkit (B): Contains utilities like CDFControl—useful for deep log capture, but not for network analytics.

Configuration Logging (C): Tracks administrative changes, not network performance.

Citrix Scout (D): Gathers system logs for support, not real-time or historical ICA network metrics.

According to the Citrix Virtual Apps and Desktops 7 Administration On-Premises and in Citrix Cloud course, the Responder policy expression determines which requests are redirected by the Responder action. The expression http.REQ.URL.EQ(“/”) matches only the requests for the root page, and not any other pages. This prevents the redirection loop that occurs when the Responder action expression is also the root page. The other options are incorrect because they either match all requests or none.

This command enables the Delivery Controllers to trust requests sent to the XML service port. This is required for securing communication between StoreFront and the Delivery Controllers

 The minimum built-in delegated administration role required to create an Application Group is the Delivery Group Administrator. This role has the necessary permissions to manage application groups within a delivery group1.

 According to the Citrix documentation1, “Cloud Connectors are the communication channel between your resource location and Citrix Cloud. They enable cloud management without requiring any complex networking or infrastructure configuration such as VPNs or IPsec tunnels. Resource locations contain the resources you want to make available to your subscribers, such as applications and desktops. Each resource location requires at least one Cloud Connector to communicate with Citrix Cloud.” Therefore, the VDA machines should communicate with a Cloud Connector that is located in the on-premises location in order to become registered with the Site.

Application Probing is a monitoring feature in Citrix Director that automatically launches configured probes to test the availability and responsiveness of published applications.

Citrix added full support for application probing in Citrix Virtual Apps and Desktops 2203 LTSR. Therefore:

2203 LTSR is the oldest LTSR that supports application probing

1912 LTSR and 7.15 LTSR → Do not support application probing

2402 LTSR → Supports probing, but it is newer, not the oldest

Thus, the earliest LTSR with application probe support is 2203 LTSR.

 According to the Policies page of Citrix Virtual Apps and Desktops 7 2308 documentation, Classic policies are a collection of settings that define how sessions, bandwidth, and security are managed for a group of users, devices, or connection types. You can apply policy settings to physical and virtual machines or to users. Classic policies can be filtered by various criteria, such as HTTP, IP, and TCP. These are the only options allowed when using Classic policies. Other options, such as CLIENT, SERVER, and DNS, are not valid filters for Classic policies.

 Installing the Cloud Connector on a machine template (before cloning) is not supported. If you clone a machine with the Cloud Connector installed, the Cloud Connector services won’t run and the machine can’t connect to Citrix Cloud1. Therefore, the administrator should provision each machine from a cloned machine template and install the Cloud Connector software on them. This way, the Cloud Connectors can communicate with Citrix Cloud and register with the same resource location2.

The Profile Protection feature in Citrix Profile Management maintains a backup of the NTUSER.DAT file. This feature ensures that there is a backup of the last known good copy of NTUSER.DAT and provides a rollback option in case of corruption.
