Domain overview
This domain covers Citrix Profile Management (CPM) and printing for Virtual Apps and Desktops 7. It tests policy configuration, profile container optimization, and printer driver selection to control logon times and WAN traffic. Expect scenario questions on non-persistent desktops and low-bandwidth printing.
Exam objectives
Configuring CPM policies for large profiles, including profile streaming and active write-back.
Selecting printer driver types (universal vs. native) to minimize WAN traffic.
Optimizing User Store for non-persistent desktops using Citrix Profile Management.
Identifying the VDA component that processes Citrix Profile Management policies.
Confusing profile streaming with active write-back; streaming reduces logon time, while active write-back reduces logoff time.
Assuming native printer drivers always reduce WAN traffic; universal drivers are preferred for low-bandwidth connections.
Believing the Delivery Controller processes CPM policies; the VDA handles policy processing locally.

A Citrix administrator is configuring printer redirection for a group of users who work from home using low-bandwidth connections. Which printer driver type should the administrator prioritize to minimize WAN traffic while ensuring high-fidelity printing?
2Refer to the exhibit. A user reports they cannot see their local home office printer inside their virtual desktop. Why is the printer missing?
3Which TWO settings should an administrator configure in a Citrix Profile Management (CPM) policy to ensure that large user profiles do not negatively impact logon times? (Choose two.)
4A user is complaining that their personal settings, such as desktop wallpaper and browser favorites, are not persisting between sessions. Which troubleshooting step should the administrator perform first?
5An administrator wants to use Citrix Profile Management to ensure that user settings are maintained across non-persistent virtual desktops. What is a requirement for the 'User Store' location?
6An administrator notices that the 'Citrix User Profile' size is growing rapidly. Which feature can the administrator use to prevent the synchronization of unnecessary data?
7Refer to the exhibit. What is the most likely cause of this error?
8Which feature ensures that user profile data is saved to the User Store even if a session is disconnected abruptly?
9An administrator is planning for a large-scale deployment of non-persistent desktops and wants to ensure that profile management is as efficient as possible. Which strategy should they implement to optimize the User Store architecture?
10A Citrix administrator needs to ensure that printer drivers are automatically installed on the Virtual Delivery Agent (VDA) when a user logs in. Which printer driver mapping behavior should the administrator prioritize to minimize VDA performance overhead?
11Which component is responsible for processing Citrix Profile Management policies on the VDA?
12A Citrix Administrator is configuring Citrix Profile Management for a pool of non-persistent VMs. Users report that their Windows Start menu layout and taskbar customizations are lost after each logon. The administrator has enabled Profile Management and configured a user store. Which Profile Management policy should the administrator enable to preserve these specific settings?
13A Citrix Administrator is setting up a new Citrix Profile Management deployment. The administrator needs to specify a central location where user profiles will be stored and accessed by multiple VDAs. Which configuration item must be defined?
14A Citrix Administrator is troubleshooting a printing issue in a Virtual Apps and Desktops 7 environment. Users connecting from Windows endpoints report that their locally attached printers are not available in their Citrix session. The administrator has verified that the Session Printers policy is not configured. Which Citrix policy must be enabled to allow users' local printers to be mapped into the session?
15A Citrix Administrator is implementing Citrix Profile Management for a group of users who require consistent profile data across both Citrix Virtual Apps sessions and Citrix Virtual Desktops sessions. The administrator wants to ensure that the same profile is used regardless of the session type. Which Profile Management configuration should be implemented?
16A Citrix Administrator is configuring Citrix Profile Management in a Virtual Apps and Desktops 7 environment. The security team requires that profile data be encrypted while in transit and that the User Store be protected against unauthorized access. The administrator plans to use the default profile management settings. Which statement correctly describes the security posture of the User Store in this default configuration?
17A Citrix Administrator is configuring profile streaming for a large pooled VDI deployment. Users currently experience long logon times because entire profiles are copied to the VDA at logon. The administrator enables Profile Streaming in Citrix Profile Management and sets the streaming threshold to 0 days. Which behavior should the administrator expect for a profile file that has not been accessed recently?
18A Citrix Administrator is troubleshooting Citrix Profile Management in a Virtual Apps and Desktops 7 environment. Users report that some profile data is written to the local VDA disk instead of the User Store. The administrator confirms that the User Store is reachable and that the Profile Management policy is applied. Which log should the administrator review first to identify files that were excluded from synchronization because they are in use?
19A Citrix Administrator is configuring Citrix Universal Print Server in a Virtual Apps and Desktops 7 environment. Users in a remote office complain that printing is slow and sometimes fails. The administrator notices that the Universal Print Server is installed on a dedicated server in the data center, while users are in a branch office with a high-latency WAN link. Which action should the administrator take to improve printing performance for the branch users?
20A Citrix Administrator is setting up a new Virtual Apps and Desktops 7 environment. The administrator wants to ensure that users' printers are automatically created in their sessions based on the printers installed on their local client devices. Which Citrix policy setting should the administrator enable to achieve this?
21A Citrix Administrator is deploying Citrix Profile Management in a Virtual Apps and Desktops 7 environment. The administrator wants to use a network share as the User Store and needs to ensure that the Citrix Profile Management service can create and manage user profile folders. Which permission should the administrator grant to the users on the User Store share?
22A Citrix Administrator is configuring Citrix Profile Management for a large organization. Users store their profiles on a network share. The administrator wants to reduce logon times by preventing large files from being copied to the local VDA during logon. Which Citrix Profile Management policy should the administrator configure?
Be able to configure CPM policies to optimize logon times and choose universal printer drivers for low-bandwidth scenarios. The most important thing is knowing that the VDA processes CPM policies, not the Delivery Controller.
