Citrix Workspace – Planning and Building — Question 67

Scenario: While assessing the User Layer, a Citrix Architect finds that most of the internal users connect using corporate-owned laptops, desktop devices, and thin clients. Many of these laptops and desktop devices are running Windows 10, while the remainder of the machines are running Windows 7 and are in the process of being migrated to Windows 10. Some users also connect using personal devices.
Currently, Citrix Receiver is manually installed on any endpoint device added to the company. All these devices use Citrix Receiver version 4.8 and above. The IT team is planning to automate a process to update all the devices with the latest version of Citrix Receiver and to automate another process for automatic installation of Citrix Receiver without incurring extra costs and maintenance.
What should the architect recommend to upgrade Citrix Receivers for internal Windows endpoints?

Answer options

• A. The use of deployment tools for internal endpoints.
• B. The deployment of Enterprise software.
• C. Configure Receiver auto-updates through Citrix Cloud.
• D. Edit the Web.config file and set upgradeAtLogin to True.

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is A because using deployment tools allows for efficient management and automated updates of Citrix Receiver across multiple internal devices. Option B is incorrect as Enterprise software deployment does not specifically address the automation of updates. Option C, while potentially useful, does not provide a direct solution for all internal endpoints in the described scenario. Option D involves a manual configuration change that may not be practical for large-scale updates.
