Citrix Workspace – Planning and Building — Question 58

Scenario: A Citrix Architect designed an active/passive XenApp and XenDesktop environment for a customer, where the passive Site serves as the disaster recovery Site for all users.
The architect configured a DFS root for user profiles and redirected folders and configured DFS-R to replicate the user profiles and data to a fileserver in the disaster recovery Site.
During failover testing, no issues were reported; however, today the customer has an unexpected outage in StoreFront on the active Site which causes sessions to start flowing to the passive Site.
The customer reports that several users are experiencing issues logging on and has also stated that Citrix Director is NOT showing any issues for the passive
Site.
What is likely causing this issue?

Answer options

• A. DFS-R is NOT supported for use with Citrix Profile Management.
• B. StoreFront in the passive Site is aggregating Virtual Delivery Agent (VDA) machines in the primary Site.
• C. Virtual Delivery Agent (VDA) machines in the passive Site are NOT registered.
• D. User sessions in the primary datacenter are still active.

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is A because DFS-R does not support Citrix Profile Management, which can lead to issues with user profile replication during a failover. Option B is incorrect as StoreFront in the passive Site should not aggregate VDA machines from the primary Site. Option C is wrong since the issue is related to DFS-R and not VDA registration. Option D does not apply as the problem is not caused by active sessions in the primary datacenter.
