Citrix Virtual Apps and Desktops 7 Advanced Administration — Question 1

Scenario: A Citrix Engineer has implemented a multi-zone environment with the following characteristics:
-One Primary Zone in New York, one Satellite Zone in San Francisco and another in Singapore
-Microsoft Excel Application available in all zones
-Singapore zone configured as the App Home for Microsoft Excel
-San Francisco configured as the User Home for User1
User1 is currently located in the New York zone, and clicks the icon for Microsoft Excel in Receiver. User1 does NOT have any existing sessions in the environment.
Based on this scenario, a new session will be launched in ________. (Choose the correct option to complete the sentence).

Answer options

• A. Singapore
• B. San Francisco
• C. The VDA with the lowest load index
• D. New York

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The new session will be launched in New York because User1 is currently located in that zone and does not have any existing sessions. Although Singapore is set as the App Home for Microsoft Excel, the location of the user takes precedence in this scenario. San Francisco, being the User Home for User1, does not apply since the user is not located there.
