Citrix Workspace – Planning and Building — Question 2

Scenario: A Citrix Architect needs to design a new XenApp and XenDesktop environment. The design will require three different StoreFront Stores and three corresponding Citrix Receiver for Web sites. Each different Store and Citrix Receiver for Web site will serve different business units. Each of these will also require their own branding and SSL certificate. The solution should remain supported by Citrix.
The architect has already installed StoreFront on a server.
How can the architect achieve the desired design while keeping cost and maintenance requirements as low as possible?

Answer options

• A. Create two extra IIS Sites, bind the certificates in IIS manager, copy the StoreFront configurations to the two new IIS Sites, and use a text editor to configure all three StoreFront Stores.
• B. Deploy two extra virtual servers, bind the certificates in IIS manager, and install StoreFront again on each new virtual server.
• C. Create two extra IIS Sites, bind the certificates in IIS manager, copy the StoreFront configuration to the two new IIS Sites, and use the StoreFront console to configure all three StoreFront Stores.
• D. Create two extra IIS Sites, bind the certificates in IIS manager, use PowerShell to deploy additional Stores to the two new IIS Sites, and use a text editor to configure all three StoreFront Stores.

Correct answer: C

Explanation

Option C is correct because it leverages the StoreFront console for configuration management, making it easier to maintain and support the environment. Options A and D involve using a text editor to manage configurations, which can lead to errors and increase maintenance overhead. Option B requires deploying additional virtual servers, which adds unnecessary costs and complexity without taking advantage of existing resources.
