Free Practice Questions for Citrix 1Y0-204 Exam

 According to the Citrix documentation, the Citrix Cloud Connector is a Citrix component that serves as a channel for communication between Citrix Cloud and the resource locations, enabling cloud management without requiring any complex networking or infrastructure configuration. This removes all the hassle of managing delivery infrastructure. The Cloud Connector also provides services for the Citrix Cloud Delivery Controllers to configure the resource location where Citrix Provisioning runs. Therefore, the administrator needs to install Citrix Cloud Connectors on the Citrix Provisioning servers to migrate the Citrix Provisioning environment to Citrix Cloud1

According to the Citrix Virtual Apps and Desktops 7 Deployment and Administration documentation1, the collation sequence for the site database should be _100_CI_AS_KS. This collation sequence is case-insensitive, accent-sensitive, kana-sensitive, and width-insensitive. It is also compatible with the SQL Server mirroring feature. Other collation sequences might cause errors or unexpected behavior when using SQL Server mirroring2.

When Citrix Director is integrated with NetScaler Gateway using NetScaler Console / ADM, it unlocks HDX Insight data. This provides deep ICA and network analytics that Citrix Director cannot display alone.

The integration provides advanced metrics such as:

✔ A. Latency and bandwidth information for specific user sessions

HDX Insight allows administrators to see:

Session latency (ICA RTT, network latency)

Per-session bandwidth consumptionThis data is retrieved directly from NetScaler Gateway.

✔ C. Latency and bandwidth effects for applications and desktops

NetScaler ADM tracks ICA virtual channel usage at the application level, allowing Citrix Director to show:

Bandwidth impact of individual applications

Latency correlations with app responsiveness

✔ D. Average ICA round trip time for specific user sessions

This metric comes from the integrated ICA/HDX analytics and represents perceived responsiveness from the user’s point of view.

Why the other options are incorrect:

B. Peak concurrent sessions for apps/desktops:This is not provided by NetScaler integration; it is tracked by Delivery Controllers, not ADM.

E. Peak connected sessions for specific users:Director does not track historical peak sessions per user; this metric does not come from NetScaler.

The issue is caused by the policy expression of the no_chunk_pol being ‘true’ and ‘NOT HTTP.REQ.IS_VALID’. This means that the policy will always be true and thus, always be invoked, preventing the other policy from being used. This is explained in the Citrix Virtual Apps and Desktops 7 Deployment and Administration (CWS-215) course, under the section “Load Balancing Virtual Server Rewrite Policy Binding”.

 MAC-based forwarding (MBF) can be used to avoid multiple route/ARP lookups and to avoid asymmetrical packet flows. MBF caches the MAC address of the upstream router that forwarded the client request to the appliance. When a reply is received, it is passed through to the same router that sent the client request without going through any route lookup

 The administrator should negate the expression of the Responder policy to avoid the HTTP callout recursion issue. According to the Citrix documentation, “If you configure an HTTP callout policy that is bound globally, you must ensure that the policy expression does not match the callout request. Otherwise, the callout request will trigger the policy, resulting in a callout recursion.” The expression in option B ensures that the policy does not match the callout request by adding the NOT operator at the end.

Machine Creation Services (MCS) is suitable for deploying a large number of virtual desktops with low impact on network infrastructure. MCS allows for user-installed applications and persistency by using differencing disks and personal vDisks.

According to the Citrix Virtual Apps and Desktops 7 Deployment and Administration guide1, the HDX Printer properties retention policy has four possible settings:

Held in profile only if NOT saved on client: This is the default setting. The printer properties are held in the user profile only if they have not been saved on the user device.

Do NOT retain printer properties: The printer properties are not retained at all. The user must configure them for each session.

Saved on the client device only: The printer properties are saved on the user device only. The user profile does not store them.

Retained in user profile only: The printer properties are retained in the user profile only. The user device does not store them.

In this scenario, the administrator wants the users to maintain the different printer property settings for their HDX sessions. Since the users are using mandatory profiles, which are read-only and do not save any changes, the administrator should use the Retained in user profile only setting. This way, the printer properties are stored in the user profile and applied to the HDX sessions. The user device does not need to save them. This setting is suitable for environments where mandatory profiles are being used.

The Applications and Trends features within Citrix Director can be used to view historical resource utilization for a machine running the VDA. The Applications feature shows the application usage and resource consumption of each application on a specific machine2. The Trends feature shows the historical trends of various metrics such as CPU, memory, disk, and network utilization for a specific machine3.

Citrix Virtual Apps and Desktops support several high availability solutions for on-premises deployments, including Always On Availability Groups, SQL Server database mirroring, and SQL clustering. These features ensure automatic failover and continuous operation1
