Citrix 1Y0-204 Dumps

According to the Citrix Cloud documentation, when migrating existing VDAs to Citrix Cloud, the administrator must update the VDA software on the master image to communicate with the Cloud Connectors. This ensures that the VDAs can register with the Delivery Controllers in Citrix Cloud. If the VDA software is not updated, the VDAs will not be able to register with Citrix Cloud. Therefore, option A is the correct answer. The other options are not relevant to the registration issue.

The absence of a power-manage option during the creation of a new machine catalog in Citrix Virtual Apps and Desktops is typically due to the lack of a defined resource connection in Citrix Studio2.

 In general, to improve HDX session performance for high-latency, low bandwidth connections, administrators can configure settings that reduce the amount of data transferred and the resources required. This includes optimizing the visual experience (B, D, E) by adjusting the frame rate, color depth, and video quality.

Workspace Control allows users to reconnect to their disconnected sessions automatically when they roam between devices or reconnect after a network disruption. It is designed to provide a seamless user experience by maintaining the user’s session state, allowing them to pick up where they left off without starting a new session. This feature can be managed within the Citrix Virtual Apps and Desktops management consoles and is essential for scenarios where users need to maintain continuity in their work, such as in the given scenario where users leave work and expect to reconnect to their sessions later.

Citrix Cloud Connector requires the machine to be joined to a domain as part of its prerequisites for installation. If the machine is not domain-joined, it could prevent the Cloud Connector from installing properly. This is because Cloud Connector needs to communicate with Citrix Cloud services and typically relies on domain credentials for authentication and other functions within a domain environment.

According to the HDX Insight documentation, HDX Insight is the integration of NetScaler Network Inspector and Performance Manager with Director. It captures data about ICA traffic and provides a dashboard view of real time and historical details. To monitor NetScaler appliances deployed in this mode, first add the NetScaler appliance to the NetScaler Application Delivery Management (ADM) inventory, enable AppFlow, and then view the reports on the dashboard. External users who access Citrix Virtual App and Desktop applications must authenticate themselves on the NetScaler Gateway. Therefore, the three components that the administrator will need to review are:

• Citrix Application Delivery Management: This is the platform that collects and analyzes the AppFlow records generated by the NetScaler appliance.
• Citrix Gateway: This is the component that provides secure access to the Citrix Virtual App and Desktop applications and generates the AppFlow records for HDX Insight.
• Citrix Director: This is the web-based tool that displays the HDX Insight reports and allows the administrator to troubleshoot performance issues.

 The Citrix documentation states that if a machine catalog is not available when adding machines to a Delivery Group, a possible cause is that the machines in the unavailable machine catalog are of different OS types2.

According to the Delivery Controllers document, Citrix recommends having at least two Controllers on different physical servers for redundancy and scalability in a production site. The document also states that “additional Controllers enable you to handle more users and more applications and desktop requests, and can improve overall responsiveness.” Therefore, the minimum number of Delivery Controllers required to deploy Citrix Virtual Apps and Desktops for 500 users is 2.

 According to the Citrix documentation, the cacheForSecs parameter of the set httpcallout command specifies the time, in seconds, for which the response from the HTTP callout server is cached. Therefore, the effect of the command is to set the cache duration of the HTTP callout response to 120 seconds.

According to Citrix documentation, to make a configuration change for a StoreFront server group, the change should be made on one StoreFront server in the group, and then the Propagate Changes feature should be used to synchronize the change across the group1

• Option B is correct because spillover policies are applied on the GSLB virtual server level, not on the individual GSLB service level. Therefore, the user cannot have a backup for a subset of GSLB services1.
• Option C is correct because the selection of a GSLB service is based on the load balancing method configured on the GSLB virtual server, which applies to all the GSLB services bound to it. The user cannot restrict the selection of a GSLB service from a subset of GSLB services for the given domain1.
• Option A is incorrect because an administrator can define a backup for a backup Vserver in an active standby GSLB setup for a given GSLB domain by using the backup domain option2.
• Option D is incorrect because a GSLB Vserver can load-balance multiple FQDNs by using the domain list option

When using an HDX Session printers policy, print jobs sent to a printer managed by the print server are routed directly to the network print server and then to the specified printer3.

 Installing the Cloud Connector on a machine template (before cloning) is not supported. If you clone a machine with the Cloud Connector installed, the Cloud Connector services won’t run and the machine can’t connect to Citrix Cloud1. Therefore, the administrator should provision each machine from a cloned machine template and install the Cloud Connector software on them. This way, the Cloud Connectors can communicate with Citrix Cloud and register with the same resource location2.

According to the Citrix documentation1, the correct syntax for a rewrite action to change the HTTP version in a request is:

add rewrite action replace http.req.version “”

The new version should be enclosed in double quotes. Therefore, the correct answer is D, which uses the following command:

add rewrite action RW_ACT replace http.req.version “"HTTP/1.0"”

The other options are incorrect because they either use the wrong target location (http.res.version), the wrong value format (without double quotes), or the wrong action type (respond).

 According to the Citrix documentation2, the SDX platform is a multi-tenant appliance that supports multiple Citrix ADC instances. Each instance is fully isolated and has its own dedicated resources. The SDX platform allows administrators to create, manage, and monitor multiple instances from a single management interface.

Virtual MAC is a feature that allows the Citrix ADC to use the same MAC address for the primary and secondary nodes in an HA pair. This way, the upstream router does not need to update its ARP table when a failover occurs. This feature can be enabled or disabled using the command set ha node -hamac yes|no or the GUI1

The architecture Layer is the following:

User: represent the endpoints

Access: represent the storefront and Citrix Gateway

Control: represent the delivery controller, database, studio, license, director

Resources: represent the VDAs

Host: represent the hardware, fiscal server, storage, network, etc.

The “Limit Visibility” option allows a Citrix Administrator to hide a published application on Citrix Workspace app for specified users or groups within a delivery group. This option can be configured in the application properties in Citrix Studio123 or using PowerShell commands4. This option does not affect the other choices.

The dig +trace command can be used to resolve DNS requests by tracing the path from the root name servers to the authoritative name servers. This can help identify any issues with DNS resolution or delegation. The nslookup command can also be used to query DNS records, but it does not provide the trace option. The curl command can be used to transfer data from or to a server, but it does not resolve DNS requests. The ping command can be used to test the connectivity and latency between two hosts, but it does not resolve DNS requests.

According to the Citrix documentation1, when connection proxy is used as the site persistence method, the Subnet IP (SNIP) address of the appliance is used to source the traffic when the connection is proxied. This ensures that the response from the server goes back to the same appliance that proxied the request.

 The New-BrokerRebootScheduleV2 cmdlet creates a new reboot schedule for a machine catalog or a delivery group. The -StartTime parameter specifies the start time of the reboot schedule in 24-hour format. The -RebootDuration parameter specifies the time interval in minutes between each machine reboot. The -Frequency parameter specifies how often the reboot schedule occurs. The -DesktopGroupName parameter specifies the name of the delivery group to apply the reboot schedule to. The -Enabled parameter specifies whether the reboot schedule is enabled or not12

According to the Citrix Virtual Apps and Desktops 7 Deployment and Administration course description12, one of the objectives is to “Configure Citrix ADC to monitor and report on the health of your environment”.The course also covers how to use Citrix Application Delivery Management to monitor and manage multiple Citrix ADC instances. According to the Citrix documentation3, Network Reporting on Citrix Application Delivery Management allows you to generate reports based on various metrics and events collected from the Citrix ADC instances. You can also configure thresholds and alerts for the reports, and specify the email addresses to receive the notifications. Therefore, the correct answer is D.

The Citrix Universal Generic Printer is a special type of auto-created printer that uses the Citrix Universal Print Driver and does not require any printer drivers to be installed on the server. It can reduce the number of native drivers being used within the Site infrastructure. To use this feature, the administrator must enable the Auto-create generic universal printer policy setting

 According to the Citrix documentation1, HA monitoring should be enabled only on interfaces that are UP on both nodes. If HA monitoring is enabled on a disabled interface of the primary node, the secondary node will not be able to receive heartbeats from the primary node and will not initiate a failover.

Inline CSS is a FEO action that replaces external CSS files with inline CSS code in the HTML document. This reduces the number of HTTP requests and improves the page load time. The screenshots show that the HTML code in the second snippet has no external CSS file linked, unlike the first snippet. Therefore, the correct answer is B. Inline CSS12.

Some additional information:

• FEO stands for Front-End Optimization, which is a feature of Citrix Application Delivery Management (ADM) that optimizes web pages for faster delivery and better user experience3.
• FEO actions are rules that modify the HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and images of a web page to improve its performance. FEO actions can be applied globally or to specific web pages based on policies4.
• Other FEO actions include Truncate CSS, which removes unused CSS selectors and properties; Move CSS to head, which moves the CSS code to the head section of the HTML document; and Rearrange CSS, which reorders the CSS code to avoid rendering delays4.

 Profile streaming ensures that only the files and folders that a user needs are downloaded to the VDA during logon and logoff. This reduces logon and logoff times and allows users to access their profiles in the event of network interruptions or VDA failures1

Enabling NTUSER.DAT backup allows Profile Management to maintain a last known good backup of the NTUSER.DAT file and use it to recover the profile if corruption is detected. This can help prevent data loss from users’ profiles. According to the Registry policy settings document, “If you do not configure this policy here or in the.ini file, Profile Management does not back up NTUSER.DAT.” The other options are not relevant to preventing profile corruption or data loss.

According to the Citrix Virtual Apps and Desktops 7 Deployment and Administration guide, the expression CLIENT.SSL.CLIENT_CERT.VALID_NOT_AFTER.EQ(GMT2020) checks whether the client certificate is valid until the specified date (GMT2020). The other expressions are either incorrect or irrelevant for this requirement.

According to the Citrix Virtual Apps and Desktops 7 Advanced Administration guide1, the administrator can use custom access in Citrix Cloud to grant the contractor access to specific services and features, such as the Citrix Virtual Apps and Desktops Service. The administrator can also use the Delivery Group Administrator role in the Citrix Virtual Apps and Desktops Service to allow the contractor to deliver applications, desktops, and machines, and manage the associated sessions. This role has the minimum permissions required to administer the inventory application. The other roles are either too broad or too restrictive for the scenario.

The Delivery Controller runs the Secure Ticket Authority (STA) and the Citrix XML Service, which are responsible for issuing session tickets in response to connection requests for published applications and desktops on Citrix Virtual Apps and Desktops12. The Citrix Gateway can be configured to use the STA to validate the tickets and allow secure access to the resources3.

 A resource location is a collection of resources that you use to deliver applications and desktops to users. It can include Citrix ADC, VDA, Active Directory Domain, and Hypervisor. These resources are required for hosting and managing the machines that deliver apps and desktops to users1. StoreFront, Citrix Director, Citrix Provisioning, and Database are not part of a resource location, but are components of the Citrix Cloud service2.

According to the Citrix documentation, the command bind cs vserver MYVPN_http -lbvserver Vserver-CS-1 binds a load balancing virtual server to a content switching virtual server. This means that the content switching virtual server will forward the requests that match its policies to the load balancing virtual server. In this case, the content switching virtual server MYVPN_http has a policy that matches requests for so it will forward those requests to the load balancing virtual server Vserver-CS-1. Therefore, the users trying to access will be connected to the Vserver MYVPN_http, which will then connect them to Vserver-CS-1.

According to the Citrix documentation, “When you configure the Citrix ADC appliance for Active Directory authentication, you must configure DNS to assign fully qualified domain names (FQDNs) to the authentication and traffic management virtual servers. This is because the domain session cookie that is used during authentication is based on the FQDN of the virtual server.” 1

Typically, the migration of existing profiles to a new profile management system occurs during the user’s first logon after the policy has been applied, as this is when the user’s profile is first accessed and can be migrated.

VDA registration can be configured using:

• Group Policy Object (GPO): Policy-based configuration using LGPO or GPO.
• Organizational Unit (OU) based Controller discovery: Legacy OU discovery method.
• MCS-based PERSONALITY.INI: Using the personality.ini file for MCS-based deployments.

These methods ensure that the VDA has accurate and current Controller or Cloud Connector information as Controllers are added, moved, and removed in the site1.

 According to the Policies page of Citrix Virtual Apps and Desktops 7 2308 documentation, Classic policies are a collection of settings that define how sessions, bandwidth, and security are managed for a group of users, devices, or connection types. You can apply policy settings to physical and virtual machines or to users. Classic policies can be filtered by various criteria, such as HTTP, IP, and TCP. These are the only options allowed when using Classic policies. Other options, such as CLIENT, SERVER, and DNS, are not valid filters for Classic policies.

 The Secure Ticket Authority (STA) server locations must be configured on the Citrix Gateway and StoreFront to facilitate secure external access. The Citrix Gateway uses STA to validate session requests and the StoreFront communicates with the STA to manage user sessions securely.

The Resource Utilization view in Citrix Director accesses historical trend information of CPU, memory, and disk latency for each machine running the VDA. This view helps the administrator to monitor the resource consumption and performance of the machines1

Citrix Cloud is the hosting platform that minimizes management and maintenance for administrators while maintaining control of the VDA machines1.

 Folder redirection is a feature of Microsoft Windows and can be used with Profile Management. It allows folders, such as Application Data or Documents, to be saved (redirected) to a network location. The contents of the folders are stored in the redirected location and not included within the user profile, which therefore reduces in size. This can improve the logon times for users with large Documents folders1

1: Plan folder redirection with Profile Management

 According to the Citrix Virtual Apps and Desktops 7 Deployment and Administration course, the Generate Support File option on the Citrix ADC appliance allows the administrator to collect logs and configuration information for troubleshooting purposes. The support file can be downloaded and sent to the Citrix Support Engineer for analysis. The other options are not relevant for this scenario.

According to the Citrix Virtual Apps and Desktops 7 Deployment and Administration documentation1, the collation sequence for the site database should be _100_CI_AS_KS. This collation sequence is case-insensitive, accent-sensitive, kana-sensitive, and width-insensitive. It is also compatible with the SQL Server mirroring feature. Other collation sequences might cause errors or unexpected behavior when using SQL Server mirroring2.

 Session Reliability allows connection brokering operations in a site to continue when the connection between a Delivery Controller and the site database fails. It also allows users to continue working on their applications or desktops, even if the network is interrupted1.

 To ensure the line-of-business application is added to Favorites and users cannot remove it, the Citrix Administrator should add the phrase “KEYWORDS: Mandatory” to the application properties3.

After configuring TLS certificates on Cloud Connectors and disabling HTTP connections, the administrator needs to change the transport type to HTTPS in the StoreFront store’s Delivery Controller list to allow resource enumeration between on-premises StoreFront and Citrix Cloud4.

According to the Citrix Cloud documentation1, a Citrix Administrator needs to supply the following information when creating a silent installation of the Cloud Connector:

• The customer ID of the Citrix Cloud account for which the administrator is installing the Cloud Connector.
• The client ID and secret of the secure API client the administrator wants to use to install the Cloud Connector.
• The resource location ID for the resource location that the administrator wants to associate with the Cloud Connector. If the administrator does not supply this value, Citrix Cloud uses the ID of the default resource location.

Therefore, the correct answer is C, Resource Location ID.

 When creating a custom scope, the Full Administrator role is not available because custom scopes are designed to limit administrators’ permissions to specific objects or tasks within the Citrix environment.

According to the Citrix Virtual Apps and Desktops 7 Deployment and Administration guide1, to connect to an SSL offload virtual server without any SSL errors, the client must trust the certificate that is bound to the virtual server. This means that the root certificate of the certificate authority (CA) that issued the server certificate must be installed on the client’s device. Additionally, the server certificate must be bound to the load-balancing virtual server that is configured for SSL offload, not to the back-end servers. This way, the Citrix ADC can terminate the SSL connection and communicate with the back-end servers using HTTP or TCP.

In Citrix Virtual Apps and Desktops, administrators can use tag restrictions to specify which machines within a Delivery Group are affected by certain power management actions. By applying tags to a subset of machines, the administrator can ensure that only those tagged machines are restarted daily during non-peak hours, while the rest follow the weekly restart schedule.

According to the Citrix documentation1, the triggerMonitor parameter specifies the conditions under which the service monitor is invoked. The possible values are:

• ALWAYS: The service monitor is always invoked.
• MEPDOWN: The service monitor is invoked only when Metric Exchange Protocol (MEP) has marked the service as DOWN for any reason.
• MEPSUSPECT: The service monitor is invoked only when MEP has marked the service as SUSPECT.
• NONE: The service monitor is never invoked.

Therefore, the command set gslb site SiteB –triggerMonitor MEPDOWN will set the triggerMonitor value to MEPDOWN for SiteB, which means the service monitor is invoked only when MEP has marked the service as DOWN for any reason.
