Citrix Virtual Apps and Desktops 7 Assessment, Design and Advanced Configurations — Question 92

Scenario: A Citrix Architect is designing a new Citrix Virtual Apps and Desktops environment. While assessing the existing infrastructure, the architect determined that a number of users utilize legacy USB print devices that they will continue to need locally and within HDX sessions. The current HDX-optimized print virtual channel will NOT support these devices, so the architect decides that the Generic USB redirection channel should be used.
Which two factors must the architect consider when using Generic USB redirection? (Choose two.)

Answer options

• A. It requires more network bandwidth compared to standard HDX virtual channels.
• B. Local access to printers will be lost until the HDX sessions is disconnected or ended.
• C. Manufacturer printer drivers will need to be installed on user workstations.
• D. The Citrix Virtual Channel Software Development Kit (VCSDK) will be required.
• E. It is supported for only USB 3.0 devices and features.

Correct answer: A, B

Explanation

Option A is correct because Generic USB redirection does indeed require more network bandwidth than standard HDX virtual channels due to the additional data transmission. Option B is also correct as local printer access will not be available until the HDX session is disconnected. The other options, C, D, and E, are not necessary considerations for Generic USB redirection in this context.
