Citrix Virtual Apps and Desktops 7 Advanced Configure and Manage — Question 31

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 requires 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 Server 2016 VDA machines with App A, App B, and App C installed
The environment is in the middle of long-term hypervisor migration and uses both Citrix Hypervisor and Microsoft Hyper-V to host VDA machines. The images must be available on both hypervisor types.
The engineer has determined that Elastic and User Layers will NOT be used in this environment.
In this scenario the engineer will need _______________ layered image(s) and _______________ OS Layer(s) to meet the image requirements while minimizing administrative effort.

Answer options

Correct answer: E

Explanation

The engineer requires 4 layered images to accommodate both the Windows 10 and Windows Server 2016 VDA machines with Apps A, B, and C, as each OS needs its own image. Only 2 OS Layers are necessary since both OS types can share the same OS Layer for basic functionality, which minimizes administrative effort while fulfilling the requirements.
