Citrix Virtual Apps and Desktops 7 Advanced Configure and Manage — Question 16

Scenario: A Citrix Engineer needs to use Citrix App Layering to create layered images for use with a Citrix Virtual Apps and Desktops environment.
The environment currently has the following (MCS) Machine Creation Services-provisioned images.
-Windows 10 Virtual Delivery Agent (VDA) machines with App A, App B, and App C installed
-Windows 10 VDA machines with App A and App B installed
Application A is a common app that is needed by all users. Application B is a time reporting app needed by all individual contributors, and Application C is a managerial app needed by executives, but restricted from use by everyone else.
The environment uses Citrix Hypervisor to host all VDA machines.
To meet the minimum requirements while reducing administrative effort, the engineer would need __________ layered image(s), using __________.

Answer options

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is A because the engineer can use a single Elastic Layer to include Application A for all users, while also allowing Application B for individual contributors through user-specific configurations. Options B, C, and D are incorrect as they either do not meet the requirements for all user access or suggest unnecessary additional layers.
