Citrix Virtual Apps and Desktops 7 Assessment, Design and Advanced Configurations — Question 26

Scenario: A Citrix Architect is designing a new Citrix Virtual Apps and Desktops environment for a company with 2 branch offices connected over a WAN link.
Each location will maintain its own Citrix Site and be configured for disaster recovery (DR) to allow users to failover if 1 Site has an outage. Management wants to implement a strong profile solution to manage user profiles. Each user maintains a profile that consists of user documents, application settings, and other personalization settings that must be available to them at all times.
Which step should the architect perform to ensure that profile requirements are met?

Answer options

• A. Implement Citrix Profile Management for all users with Windows Folder Redirection configured, and Microsoft Distributed File System Replication (DFSR) active-active profile replication configured over the WAN connection.
• B. Implement Citrix Profile Management for all users with Microsoft Distributed File System Replication (DFSR) active-passive profile replication configured over the WAN connection.
• C. Implement Ciitrix Profile Management for all users with Microsoft Distnbuted File System Replication (DFSR) active-active profile replication configured over the WAN connection.
• D. Implement Citrix Profile Management for all users with Active write back enabled and Microsoft Distributed File System Replication (DFSR) active-active profile replication configured over the WAN connection.

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct choice is B because it ensures that user profiles are replicated in an active-passive manner, which is suitable for disaster recovery scenarios where one site may go down. Options A, C, and D propose active-active replication, which could lead to conflicts and data inconsistency during failover events, making them less appropriate for the requirements stated.
