Citrix Virtual Apps and Desktops 7 Assessment, Design and Advanced Configurations — Question 53
Scenario: A Citrix Architect is designing a new Citrix Virtual Apps and Desktops environment. Currently, the environment is configured as 2 locations with identical
Citrix Virtual Desktops Sites. Each Site has 2 Delivery Controllers, 2 StoreFront servers, and 1 Citrix ADC high-availability pair. The same applications have been published from both Sites for all users. Two zones (Zone A and Zone B) are configured in each Site with 1 Delivery Controller in each zone. The Microsoft
Exchange server is only accessible from Virtual Delivery Agent (VDA) machines in Zone A in each Site.
Six access requirements have been identified:
✑ Users should have a single URL when accessing resources from different Sites.
✑ Users should always connect to the data center closest to their location.
✑ Applications added to Favorites within the Citrix Workspace app should be retained when accessed from different Sites.
✑ Launched applications and desktops should always connect through a local Citrix ADC.
✑ No duplication of applications published from different Sites.
✑ Microsoft Outlook should always launch in Zone A.
What should the architect recommend configuring to avoid duplication of the same applications being delivered from different Sites?
Answer options
- A. 'Keywords: Featured' in the properties of the published applications
- B. An Application Group
- C. Zone preferences for VDA machines hosting the applications
- D. Aggregate resources
Correct answer: D
Explanation
The correct answer is D, Aggregate resources, as it allows for the management and delivery of applications from multiple Sites without duplication. The other options do not specifically address the requirement to avoid duplication; 'Keywords: Featured' and Application Groups focus on categorization and organization, while Zone preferences pertain to connection settings rather than application publishing.
