Citrix Virtual Apps and Desktops 7 Advanced Administration — Question 54

Scenario: A Citrix Engineer is managing a XenApp and XenDesktop environment that has been built with the following site architecture:

-Site A was created in datacenter
-Site B was created in datacenter
-A NetScaler Gateway is set up in each datacenter. Each Gateway has access to both Sites.
-The StoreFront server group in each Site is configured to enumerate resources from both Sites.
-Application A is available in Site A only.
-Optimal Gateway Routing has NOT been configured.
A user located near datacenter B logs in through NetScaler and attempts to launch Application A.
Which behavior is expected in this scenario?

Answer options

• A. Resource enumeration and the HDX connection are established using Gateway A.
• B. Resource enumeration occurs through Gateway A; the HDX connection is established using Gateway B
• C. Resource enumeration occurs through Gateway B; the HDX is established using Gateway A
• D. Resource enumeration and the HDX connection are established using Gateway B

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C because the user connects through NetScaler Gateway B located in their datacenter, which handles the resource enumeration. However, since Application A is only available in Site A, the HDX connection is established using Gateway A, which has access to Site A. The other options incorrectly attribute the roles of the gateways or do not align with the application's availability.
