Scenario: A Citrix Engineer set Desktop Composition Redirection to 'Enabled' in a policy within Citrix Studio and filtered the policy by virtual desktops. Desktop Composition Redirection is set to 'Disabled' in a group policy object (GPO) applied to the organizational unit (OU) containing all virtual desktops.
What will be the resultant effect of these two policies on the virtual desktops they are applied to?
Which two Windows components can be selected using the Provisioning Services Device Optimization Tool? (Choose two.)
A Personal vDisk can be __________ and ____________. (Choose the two correct phrases to complete the sentence.)
Which two items are required when creating a machine catalog for Desktop OS machines using Machine Creation Services? (Choose two.)
Scenario: Provisioning Services has been installed to facilitate the deployment of server OS and desktop OS machines. Currently, a pool of Windows 8 desktop OS machines is being used by the Imaging and Radiology team. A virtual machine OU named CCH Virtual Desktops has been created. However, users on the Imaging and Radiology team need to use their medical imaging applications that CANNOT be installed on their workstations due to insufficient resources.
As the Citrix Engineer, you have been asked to provision desktop OS machines with sufficient resources to three Imaging and Radiology team members in order to allow them to use their new applications. All three of the desktop OS machines should be assigned the Win8 vDisk, and the desktop OS machines should maintain changes after reboot. Members of the Imaging and Radiology team need to be able to log into the CCH.com domain.
The Windows 8 virtual machines were already created with the following information:
CCHWin802 - IR Desktop 2
CCHWin803 - IR Desktop 3
In order to save time, a copy of an existing Window 8 base image vDisk was created and named Win8 and is stored in the PVS StoreOI store.
As the Citrix Engineer, use the existing site, store, and device collection to implement the tasks below.
Tasks:
1. Create and configure all 3 of the Windows 8 desktop OS machines as target devices to boot using the Win8 vDisk.
2. Name the target devices CCHWin801, CCHWin802, and CCHWin803.
3. Modify the vDisk as necessary to meet the requirements outlined in the scenario.
Scenario: Provisioning Services has been installed to facilitate the deployment of Windows 8 desktops and web servers. A Citrix Engineer is instructed to provision web servers using the Web_Server vDisk. The engineer needs to create a target device and add the device to Active Directory.
The following pieces of information have been provided:
The machine account password for the new server in Active Directory needs to be changed every seven days. As the Citrix Engineer, use the existing site, store, and device collection to implement the tasks below.
Tasks:
1. Create a target device named CCHWebServer.
2. Assign the Web_Server vDisk to the newly created target device.
3. Enable AD account password management on the vDisk.
4. Enable automatic password support in the properties of the current server.
5. Create a machine account in AD for the target device and place the machine account in the Web Server OU.
Scenario: A Citrix Engineer at CCH needs to provide Help Desk administrators with delegated administrative rights without impacting site functionality.
Help Desk administrators need permissions to do the following:
Permissions should be specifically granted to the CCH\HelpDeskAdmins group. Tasks:
1. Create a custom role for Help Desk administrators.
2. Assign only the required permissions to the newly created role.
3. Assign the newly created role to the CCH\HelpDeskAdmins group.
Scenario: A Citrix Engineer must provide students in the Cardiology program at CCH with Windows 8 virtual desktops. These students will use hosted applications through Receiver. Personalization of the Windows 8 virtual desktops is NOT required.
Tasks:
1. Create the appropriate machine catalog and name it XD_POOLED 1.
2. Create 10 virtual desktops for students in the Cardiology program.
3. Ensure each virtual desktop is assigned 2 Virtual CPUs.
4. Set the memory size for the virtual desktops to 8 GB.
5. Use the Network 0 network interface card.
6. Create Active Directory computer accounts for the virtual desktops in the CCH Virtual Desktops organizational unit (OU).
7. Use the following account naming scheme for the virtual desktops: TrainingDesk001 – TrainingDesk010.
8. Create the virtual desktops from the WDK_8_1 master image.
9. Create the appropriate Delivery Group named CCH_Training_Desktops, and configure it according to the requirements above. Students in the Cardiology program are members of the Training Desktops user group.
Scenario: A Citrix Engineer implemented applications and desktops based on department (Accounts, Sales and Management) and operating systems (Windows 7 and Windows 8). The engineer created five scopes, one for each department and one for each operating system. The engineer gave an administrator the Help Desk Administrator role for the Accounts scope and the Machine Catalog Administrator role for the Windows 7 scope.
As a result, the administrator will be able to __________ and __________. (Choose the two correct phrases to complete the sentence.)
A Citrix Engineer needs to add more Delivery Controllers to a site in which the auto-update feature is disabled.
What would the engineer need to do in order for the Virtual Delivery Agents (VDAs) to communicate with the new Delivery Controllers?
Scenario: A XenDesktop deployment with 200 virtual desktops has a host connection to a single XenServer pool configured for thin provisioning. A Citrix Engineer has been instructed to implement IntelliCache.
Which steps must the engineer take to meet the requirements stated in the scenario?
Scenario: A Citrix Engineer needs to deploy Citrix Receiver using a custom Client Name value. The engineer uses the install command CitrixReceiver /CLIENT_NAME=Terminal. A user later renames the computer and the custom client name is lost.
Which additional install parameter could the engineer have used to prevent the custom client name from being lost?
