Citrix Virtual Apps and Desktops 7 Advanced Administration — Question 13

Scenario: A Citrix Engineering maintains a multi-zone XenDesktop infrastructure with two Virtual Delivery Agent (VDA) machines located in the Primary Zone and two VDAs in the Satellite Zone. Each zone contains a single Delivery Controller.
During an unexpected outage, the Delivery Controller in the Satellite Zone went offline and did NOT resume.
What will happen to the two VDAs in the Satellite Zone?

Answer options

• A. Both VDAs in the Satellite Zone will make intermittent attempts to re-register with the Delivery Controller in the Satellite Zone and then attempt to register with the Delivery Controller in the Primary Zone.
• B. Both VDAs in the Satellite Zone will go to an unregistered state and NOT attempt to re-register until the local Delivery Controller resumes and is online.
• C. Both VDAs in the Satellite Zone will immediately attempt to register with the Delivery Controller in the Primary Zone.
• D. Both VDAs in the Satellite Zone will remain in a registered state, even when the Delivery Controller is offline.

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C because when the Delivery Controller in the Satellite Zone becomes unavailable, the VDAs will try to establish a connection with the Delivery Controller in the Primary Zone. Options A and B incorrectly suggest that the VDAs will remain unregistered or only attempt to connect locally, while option D is incorrect as the VDAs cannot stay registered without a functioning Delivery Controller.
