1Y0-312 Practice Test 9 — 10 Questions

Question 1

An administrator is configuring Citrix StoreFront to use HTTPS for all communications. The security team requires that the StoreFront server uses a certificate that is trusted by all user devices. The administrator has obtained a certificate from a public CA and installed it on the StoreFront server. Which StoreFront configuration must be updated to bind the certificate to the IIS website?

Choose an answer to begin — your selection is scored in the full session.

Accepted Answer

In IIS Manager, edit the bindings for the StoreFront website and add an HTTPS binding with the certificate.. Binding an SSL certificate to the StoreFront website is done in IIS Manager by editing the site bindings and adding an HTTPS binding with the desired certificate. This ensures that the website presents the correct certificate to clients. Other options either set URLs or manage services but do not perform the actual binding. Without the IIS binding, HTTPS will not function correctly, and users may see certificate errors.

Answer

Configure the StoreFront server to use the certificate in the Citrix Delivery Services console.

Answer

Run the PowerShell cmdlet Set-STFWebReceiverService with the -HttpsPort parameter.

Answer

Use the StoreFront management console to change the base URL to HTTPS.

Question 2

An administrator is using Machine Creation Services (MCS) to provision a catalog of non-persistent machines in Citrix Virtual Apps and Desktops. The administrator needs to update the master image with a new application and roll it out to all machines in the catalog. Which action should the administrator take?

Accepted Answer

Update the master image, then use the Citrix Studio console to update the catalog to use the new image.. For MCS-provisioned catalogs, the standard method to roll out a new master image is to update the master image and then use Citrix Studio to update the catalog. This process creates new identity disks for each machine based on the updated image, while optionally preserving user personalization. It is automated and does not require manual recreation of machines.

Answer

Update the master image, then manually delete and recreate each machine in the catalog to pick up the new image.

Answer

Update the master image, then use Provisioning Services to update the vDisk and reboot the target devices.

Answer

Update the master image, then use the PowerShell cmdlet Update-ProvScheme to apply the new image to the catalog.

Question 3

An administrator is using Machine Creation Services (MCS) to provision a new catalog of 200 non-persistent Windows 10 desktops from a master image. The master image was created on a host with a different CPU generation than the target hosts. Users report that after provisioning, the desktops fail to boot with a STOP error 0x0000005A. Which action should the administrator take to resolve this issue?

Accepted Answer

Recreate the master image on a host with the same CPU generation as the target hosts.. The 0x0000005A STOP error indicates an unsupported processor. When using MCS, the master image must be created on a host with the same CPU generation as the target hosts to ensure compatibility. Recreating the master image on a compatible host resolves the issue, while other options do not address the CPU mismatch.

Answer

Modify the catalog to use a different storage repository with higher IOPS.

Answer

Run the 'Update Machines' wizard to push a new image to the existing desktops.

Answer

Enable the 'Use machine creation services (MCS) with a hardware-accelerated graphics' option in the catalog.

Question 4

An administrator is migrating an on-premises Citrix Virtual Apps and Desktops 7 site to Citrix DaaS. The on-premises site uses a Citrix Gateway (formerly NetScaler) for external access. After migration, the administrator wants to continue using the existing Citrix Gateway to provide external access to the published resources. Which statement correctly describes the integration of an on-premises Citrix Gateway with Citrix DaaS?

Accepted Answer

The on-premises Citrix Gateway can be used with Citrix DaaS by configuring it to point to the Citrix Workspace URL or a StoreFront server that is integrated with Citrix DaaS, and it does not require a Cloud Connector on the Gateway itself.. An on-premises Citrix Gateway can be leveraged with Citrix DaaS by configuring it to direct users to the Citrix Workspace URL or an integrated StoreFront server. This allows organizations to maintain their existing external access infrastructure without deploying a Cloud Connector on the Gateway. Cloud Connectors are still required to connect the on-premises resource location to Citrix Cloud for VDA registration and communication.

Answer

The on-premises Citrix Gateway can be integrated with Citrix DaaS by using the Citrix Gateway service in Citrix Cloud, which requires the Gateway to be registered with Citrix Cloud.

Answer

The on-premises Citrix Gateway can be used with Citrix DaaS by configuring it as a StoreFront server, and it requires a Cloud Connector to be installed on the Gateway.

Answer

The on-premises Citrix Gateway can be used with Citrix DaaS only if it is first migrated to Citrix Cloud and configured as a Gateway Connector within the Citrix Cloud console.

Question 5

A Citrix architect is designing a new Citrix Virtual Apps and Desktops 7 Site. The architect needs to ensure that the Site database is highly available and that the Delivery Controllers can automatically reconnect after a database failover without manual reconfiguration. Which SQL Server feature should the architect use?

Accepted Answer

SQL Server Always On availability groups. Always On availability groups are the recommended SQL Server high-availability feature for Citrix Virtual Apps and Desktops 7. They provide a listener that acts as a single connection point, enabling the Delivery Controllers to automatically reconnect to the new primary replica after a failover. This eliminates manual reconfiguration and ensures database high availability.

Answer

SQL Server transactional log shipping

Answer

SQL Server replication

Answer

SQL Server failover cluster instances

Question 6

A Citrix Administrator is configuring a Citrix Gateway to use Smart Card authentication for external users. The environment uses a two-factor authentication requirement: smart card and Active Directory password. The administrator has configured the Gateway virtual server with a Smart Card authentication policy and an LDAP authentication policy. Users report that they are only prompted for the smart card and not for the LDAP password. What should the administrator do to enforce the two-factor authentication?

Accepted Answer

Configure the Smart Card authentication policy to use 'Next Factor' and specify the LDAP policy as the next factor.. To enforce two-factor authentication with smart card and LDAP, the administrator must configure the Smart Card authentication policy to include a 'Next Factor' that points to the LDAP policy. This creates a chain where the user first authenticates with the smart card and then is prompted for LDAP credentials. Simply binding both policies does not chain them; the next-factor configuration is essential.

Answer

Set the LDAP authentication policy to 'Secondary' and bind it to the Gateway virtual server after the Smart Card policy.

Answer

Enable 'Two-factor Authentication' in the Gateway virtual server settings and select both Smart Card and LDAP from the drop-down list.

Answer

Bind both the Smart Card and LDAP policies to the Gateway virtual server and set the priority so that LDAP is evaluated first.

Question 7

An administrator is configuring a Citrix ADC to load balance traffic to a StoreFront server group. Users occasionally experience failed connections when a StoreFront server becomes unavailable, and the administrator wants the ADC to stop sending new requests to that server while allowing existing sessions to complete. Which ADC feature should the administrator configure?

Accepted Answer

Configure a health monitor with a short interval and enable graceful shutdown on the service.. A health monitor quickly identifies the failed StoreFront server, and graceful shutdown on the service allows the ADC to drain existing connections while refusing new ones. This combination prevents new requests from reaching the unhealthy server and preserves ongoing sessions, which is exactly what the administrator needs.

Answer

Enable session persistence based on source IP.

Answer

Configure a backup virtual server with a lower priority.

Answer

Enable HTTP compression on the load balancing virtual server.

Question 8

An administrator is managing a Citrix Provisioning (PVS) environment. The administrator needs to update a vDisk that is currently in Standard Image mode and in use by multiple target devices. The update should not disrupt the running devices, and the administrator wants to be able to roll back if issues arise. Which action should the administrator take?

Accepted Answer

Create a new version of the vDisk, apply updates to the new version, and then promote it.. Creating a new version of the vDisk is the correct approach for updating a Standard Image vDisk without disrupting running devices. The new version can be updated offline, then promoted to become the boot version. The previous version remains available for rollback. Other methods either disrupt service or are not applicable to Standard Image mode.

Answer

Set the vDisk to Private Image mode, apply updates, then revert to Standard Image mode.

Answer

Use the 'Merge' function to combine changes from a differencing disk into the base vDisk.

Answer

Update the master image directly on the provisioning server and restart the Stream Service.

Question 9

An administrator is designing a Citrix Provisioning (PVS) environment for a large deployment of 500 target devices. The administrator needs to ensure high availability and optimal performance for the vDisk store. The environment uses a shared storage solution. Which two actions should the administrator take to meet these requirements? (Choose two.)

Accepted Answer

Configure multiple PVS servers in a farm and load balance them.. To achieve high availability and performance in a large PVS deployment, administrators should deploy multiple PVS servers in a farm with load balancing, and use shared storage for the vDisk store. This combination ensures that if a server fails, others can take over, and shared storage provides a single source of truth for vDisks, avoiding replication issues.

Answer

Enable write cache on the PVS servers to reduce disk I/O.

Answer

Place the vDisk store on a local disk on each PVS server.

Answer

Configure the vDisk store to use a RAID 0 array for maximum performance.

Question 10

An administrator is deploying Citrix Profile Management for a pooled VDI catalog on shared storage. Users report that logons take over 60 seconds and the storage array shows heavy random read activity during morning logon storms. Which configuration in the Profile Management policy should the administrator enable to reduce this I/O load?

Accepted Answer

Enable Profile streaming.. Profile streaming is designed to reduce logon I/O by not copying the entire profile at logon. It retrieves files on demand, which lowers random read pressure on shared storage and speeds logons during a boot or logon storm. Active write back, Cloud Connector caching, and AppData redirection do not defer profile reads and therefore do not solve the described bottleneck.

Answer

Enable Citrix Cloud Connector caching.

Answer

Enable Folder Redirection for AppData.

Answer

Enable Active write back.
