Scenario: A Citrix Architect designed an active-passive Citrix Virtual Apps and Desktops environment, where the passive data center serves as the disaster recovery (DR) data center for all users.
Twelve items have been configured:
Citrix ADC Global Server Load Balancing (GSLB) to provide single URL direction to the active data center.
GSLB has health monitors configured for the load balanced servers.
Citrix Gateways are on both data centers.
Citrix ADC load balancing occurs for StoreFront and Delivery Controller XML services.
A single Citrix Virtual Apps and Desktops Site exists.
Four Delivery Controllers are members of the Site.
Two Delivery Controllers are members of the Primary Zone in the active data center.
Two Delivery Controllers are members of the Satellite Zone in the passive data center.
SQL is deployed in the active data center.
Local Host Cache is enabled.
Two StoreFront servers are deployed in each data center aggregating resources from the Delivery Controllers in the respective data center.
Virtual Delivery Agent (VDA) machines are deployed in both data centers and configured to register with Delivery Controllers in their zone.
What would happen if the Delivery Controllers in the primary data center were turned off?
Scenario: A Citrix Architect is designing a new Citrix Virtual Apps and Desktops environment. The architect has identified the requirements, based on the assessment and early stages of the design.
Click the Exhibit button to view the requirements.
Additionally, the IT team identified 2 provisioning strategy requirements:
Should be compatible with planned design decisions
Should minimize required time to perform image and application updates
Which provisioning method should the architect use for the environment, based on the design decisions and requirements shown in the exhibit?
Scenario: A Citrix Architect is designing a new Citrix Virtual Apps and Desktops environment for a company with 2 branch offices connected over a WAN link. Each location will maintain its own Citrix Site and be configured for disaster recovery (DR) to allow users to failover if 1 Site has an outage. Management wants to implement a strong profile solution to manage user profiles. Each user maintains a profile that consists of user documents, application settings, and other personalization settings that must be available to them at all times.
Which step should the architect perform to ensure that profile requirements are met?
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 to avoid duplication of the same applications being delivered from different Sites?
Scenario: A Citrix Architect is using LDAP as single-factor authentication (SFA). The architect is migrating the environment to Citrix Cloud and wants to retain the same authentication, procedure for Citrix Virtual Apps and Desktops service in Citrix Cloud.
Which deployment strategy should the architect use for the Access Layer to ensure that the solution reduces management and does NOT incur additional costs?
Scenario: A Citrix Architect is designing a new Citrix Virtual Apps and Desktops Service environment in Citrix Cloud. 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 in the exhibit was collected regarding 1 of the required applications.
Click the Exhibit button to view the information.
The customer has the additional objective of minimizing authentication cycles for users with no configuration efforts on user machines.
How should the architect publish the application?
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 needs to assess a Citrix Virtual Apps and Desktops environment. The Citrix Virtual Apps and Desktops diagram in the exhibit gives details about the current Site and zone design.

Which statement is correct if all Delivery Controllers in the Primary Zone fail?
Scenario: A Citrix Architect needs to manage the disaster recovery (DR) process for a Citrix Virtual Apps and Desktops environment. The environment currently consists of an active data center typically accessed by users, and a DR data center used in the event that a disaster impacts the primary data center. Management has made it a priority to minimize the loss of data when failing over between data centers.
The environment has failed over from the primary data center to the DR data center and the primary data
center has subsequently been recovered to its normal state.
What is the appropriate sequence of steps that the architect should follow to return to normal operations after the primary data center’s stability is confirmed?
A Citrix Architect is designing the Access Layer for a company that supports active-active mode for Citrix Gateway, as well as an on-premises, two-factor authentication solution.
Which feature supports this requirement?
