1Y0-312 Migration and Cloud Integration Practice Test 2 — 15 Questions

Question 1

When migrating to Citrix Cloud, which THREE factors must be considered to ensure successful user authentication via Azure AD? (Choose three.)

Accepted Answer

Enable the Azure AD identity provider in Citrix Cloud.. Successful authentication in Citrix Cloud requires proper identity provider configuration, Microsoft Entra ID connectivity, and correct user attribute mapping. These factors ensure that users can log into their Workspace and that their sessions are correctly mapped to their identity. Failure to account for these results in users being unable to access their applications, rendering the entire migration useless even if the infrastructure itself is perfectly functional.

Answer

Sync all local passwords to Azure AD Domain Services.

Answer

Deploy a local AD FS server in the Azure subscription.

Question 2

An administrator is migrating to Citrix DaaS and notices that power management of Azure-based VMs is failing. Which permission is likely missing from the service principal used by Citrix?

Accepted Answer

Virtual Machine Contributor. Citrix Cloud uses a service principal to interact with the Azure Resource Manager API. This principal needs specific 'Contributor' roles at the subscription or resource group level to perform operations like power management (start, stop, restart). This is critical because without these rights, the site cannot manage the lifecycle of the virtual machines, leading to increased cloud costs and failed session host availability for end users.

Answer

Azure Storage Account Contributor

Answer

Network Contributor

Question 3

Which document or tool is best to review during the planning phase of a migration to ensure that Azure-based resources meet the performance requirements of the existing on-premises workload?

Accepted Answer

Citrix Cloud Scalability and Performance Benchmarks. Reviewing the Citrix Scalability and Performance benchmarks for public cloud is essential for capacity planning. This document provides standardized data on how different instance types perform under load. Using this information allows administrators to select appropriate Azure VM sizes, ensuring that the cloud environment provides a user experience parity with the previous on-premises hardware, preventing performance degradation after the migration is complete.

Answer

Citrix Cloud Status Dashboard

Answer

Citrix Director performance reports from the on-premises site.

Answer

Azure Advisor recommendations for cost optimization.

Question 4

An administrator is managing a hybrid environment and wants to ensure that Cloud Connectors remain resilient. Which THREE strategies should be implemented? (Choose three.)

Accepted Answer

Deploy connectors across multiple Azure Availability Zones.. Resilience in a hybrid setup requires redundancy at both the connector and the network layer. By deploying multiple connectors across different availability zones, implementing load balancing, and ensuring that network paths are redundant, the administrator ensures that the management plane remains accessible even during localized outages. This is critical for maintaining site operational continuity and preventing total management failure in the event of an infrastructure-level issue.

Answer

Size each connector for 100% of the total session load.

Answer

Disable the automatic update feature on connectors.

Question 5

An administrator is migrating an on-premises XenApp 6.5 farm to a new Citrix Virtual Apps and Desktops 7 site using Workspace Environment Management (WEM). During the migration planning phase, the administrator must determine how to handle user profile settings and application shortcuts efficiently without re-creating all configurations manually. Which approach should the administrator use to achieve this migration goal?

Accepted Answer

Use the WEM management console to import exported configuration settings from the legacy environment directly into the new WEM database.. WEM configuration management allows administrators to import legacy settings, user policies, and application shortcuts directly into the new site database. This streamlines complex migrations, eliminates redundant administrative effort, and ensures a consistent user experience during large-scale transformations. Properly planning this phase guarantees that user profile configurations and environment settings transition seamlessly to the modern architecture.

Answer

Manually recreate every application shortcut and environment setting within Studio policies to guarantee pristine configuration state.

Answer

Export user profiles utilizing the Citrix Profile Management migration tool and directly overwrite the WEM database schema.

Answer

Configure Group Policy Objects to apply all legacy XenApp 6.5 registry keys directly over the new Virtual Delivery Agent machines.

Question 6

An administrator is migrating an on-premises Citrix Virtual Apps and Desktops site to Citrix Cloud using the Citrix Cloud Migration Service. During the initial discovery phase, which prerequisite must be satisfied to ensure the Automated Configuration tool can correctly map existing policies to the cloud environment?

Accepted Answer

The source site must be fully functional with all Citrix services running in a healthy state.. The Automated Configuration tool relies on the site's configuration database and exported XML files to replicate settings. Ensuring the source site is current is vital because discrepancies between the on-premises database version and the tool's expected schema can lead to incomplete migrations or policy failures. This step is critical to maintaining security parity and operational continuity during the transition from traditional datacenter management to the cloud-hosted control plane.

Answer

The source site must be upgraded to the latest Long Term Service Release (LTSR).

Answer

The local Delivery Controller must be joined to a secondary Azure Active Directory domain.

Answer

The on-premises database must be migrated to a standalone Azure SQL instance first.

Question 7

An administrator is deploying Citrix Cloud Connectors in a hybrid environment to link an on-premises resource location to the Citrix Cloud control plane. Which TWO requirements must be met for the connectors to operate correctly? (Choose two.)

Accepted Answer

The Cloud Connector must be a member of the Active Directory domain it serves.. Cloud Connectors serve as the communication bridge between the on-premises resource location and Citrix Cloud. They require specific network access and domain membership to manage resources effectively. Understanding these requirements is essential for ensuring that the control plane can broker connections and perform resource management tasks like power management and session monitoring, preventing split-brain scenarios or total loss of connectivity in hybrid deployments.

Answer

The Cloud Connector must be installed on a Windows Server with a GUI enabled.

Answer

The Cloud Connector requires a dedicated static public IP address for each instance.

Answer

The Cloud Connector must be installed on the same server as the Delivery Controller.

Question 8

An administrator is migrating a Citrix Virtual Apps and Desktops 7 site to Citrix DaaS. The existing on-premises StoreFront deployment will be replaced by Citrix Workspace. Users must continue to launch published apps and desktops without reconfiguring their local Workspace app clients. Which Citrix Cloud component is responsible for providing the service URLs that Workspace app clients use to enumerate and launch resources after the migration?

Accepted Answer

Citrix Workspace. After migrating to Citrix DaaS, Citrix Workspace becomes the resource aggregation and delivery service. It supplies the service URL that Workspace app clients use to authenticate and enumerate published apps and desktops, effectively replacing the on-premises StoreFront role without requiring client reconfiguration. The other components support management, connectivity, or secure access but do not provide the enumeration endpoint.

Answer

Citrix Studio

Answer

Citrix Gateway service

Answer

Cloud Connector

Question 9

An administrator is migrating an on-premises Citrix Virtual Apps and Desktops 7 1912 LTSR site to Citrix DaaS. The on-premises site uses an on-premises Citrix Gateway with StoreFront and a zone preference for internal users. The administrator wants to maintain a fallback path during the migration so that users can still access published apps if the Citrix Cloud control plane is unavailable. Which Citrix Cloud feature should be enabled to provide this fallback?

Accepted Answer

Local Host Cache (LHC) on each Cloud Connector. Local Host Cache on Cloud Connectors provides a fallback brokering path when the Cloud Connector loses connectivity to Citrix Cloud. It caches the site database and allows users to launch apps and desktops, which is critical during a migration to avoid downtime. Other options address availability at different layers but do not provide the required brokering fallback.

Answer

Zone preference with a backup zone in Citrix Cloud

Answer

Citrix ADC with GSLB across two datacenters

Answer

StoreFront in high availability mode with multiple servers

Question 10

An administrator is migrating an on-premises Citrix Virtual Apps and Desktops 7 1912 LTSR site to Citrix DaaS. The current environment uses Citrix Provisioning (PVS) to stream images to 200 virtual desktops on VMware vSphere. The administrator wants to keep using PVS in the cloud but must first ensure the target resource location supports the required streaming infrastructure. Which statement correctly describes a requirement for continuing to use PVS after the migration?

Accepted Answer

The resource location must contain at least one Cloud Connector and a PVS server that can reach the Citrix Cloud control plane over TCP 443 outbound.. When migrating to Citrix DaaS while retaining PVS, the PVS infrastructure remains in the resource location alongside Cloud Connectors. Cloud Connectors provide the outbound-only connection to Citrix Cloud, and PVS servers continue to stream vDisks to target devices. The control plane in Citrix Cloud does not require direct access to the PVS servers or vDisk storage; it only needs the Cloud Connectors to communicate with the resource location.

Answer

The PVS server must be joined to the same Active Directory domain as the Citrix Cloud control plane.

Answer

The PVS server must be replaced with Machine Creation Services (MCS) because PVS is not supported in Citrix DaaS.

Answer

The PVS vDisk store must be migrated to Azure Files or another cloud storage service to be accessible by Citrix Cloud.

Question 11

A company is migrating from an on-premises Citrix Virtual Apps and Desktops 7 1912 LTSR site to Citrix DaaS. The security team mandates that no user credentials or session traffic traverse the internet. The on-premises StoreFront servers must continue to serve internal users. Which Citrix component should the administrator deploy to meet these requirements?

Accepted Answer

Citrix StoreFront with on-premises authentication. The requirement is to keep credentials and session traffic on the internal network. StoreFront with on-premises authentication allows users to authenticate directly to Active Directory and access resources without traversing the internet. Cloud Connectors and Gateway Service involve external communication, and WEM is not an access component. Thus, on-premises StoreFront is the correct choice.

Answer

Citrix Workspace Environment Management (WEM)

Answer

Citrix Cloud Connector

Answer

Citrix Gateway Service

Question 12

An administrator is migrating an on-premises Citrix Virtual Apps and Desktops site to Citrix DaaS. The environment uses two Cloud Connectors in a resource location. After the migration, users report that they cannot access their apps when the primary Cloud Connector is rebooted for maintenance. The administrator verifies that both Cloud Connectors are registered and healthy. What should the administrator configure to ensure that users can still access apps during maintenance?

Accepted Answer

Ensure that the StoreFront servers are configured with both Cloud Connectors in the same resource location.. For high availability, StoreFront must be configured to communicate with all Cloud Connectors in the resource location. If only one connector is specified, rebooting it causes a loss of brokering. Ensuring both connectors are listed in StoreFront allows failover to the secondary connector, maintaining user access during maintenance.

Answer

Configure the Cloud Connectors in a high availability pair using a load balancer.

Answer

Enable Local Host Cache on the secondary Cloud Connector only.

Answer

Enable zone preference and set the resource location as the primary zone.

Question 13

An administrator is migrating an on-premises Citrix Virtual Apps and Desktops 7 site to Citrix DaaS. The on-premises site uses two StoreFront servers for user access. The administrator plans to replace StoreFront with Citrix Workspace. Which two configurations are required to ensure that users can access their published resources after the migration? (Choose two.)

Accepted Answer

Publish the applications and desktops from the Citrix Cloud control plane to the Citrix Workspace.. To replace StoreFront with Citrix Workspace during a migration to Citrix DaaS, the resource location must have at least one Cloud Connector to enable communication with the Citrix Cloud control plane, and the applications and desktops must be published from that control plane. These two configurations ensure that the control plane can broker sessions and that Workspace can present the resources to users. Additional components like Citrix Gateway are optional based on access scenarios.

Answer

Configure the Citrix Workspace to use the same URL as the on-premises StoreFront.

Answer

Configure the Citrix Workspace to trust the Citrix Cloud control plane by uploading the appropriate certificate.

Answer

Enable the Citrix Workspace integration with Citrix Gateway for remote access.

Question 14

An administrator is migrating an on-premises Citrix Virtual Apps and Desktops site to Citrix DaaS. The on-premises site uses a Microsoft SQL Server database for the configuration logging database. The administrator wants to retain the configuration logging data after the migration. What should the administrator do before decommissioning the on-premises Delivery Controllers?

Accepted Answer

Export the configuration logging data to a CSV file using PowerShell scripts and retain it for compliance purposes.. Configuration logging data cannot be migrated to Citrix Cloud because Citrix manages the logging database and does not expose it. The Migration Service does not include historical logs. Therefore, the administrator should export the on-premises logs to a CSV file using PowerShell to retain them for compliance, then decommission the on-premises infrastructure.

Answer

Back up the on-premises SQL database and restore it to a new SQL Server instance that is accessible from Citrix Cloud.

Answer

Use the Citrix Cloud Migration Service to migrate the configuration logging data to Citrix Cloud.

Answer

Export the configuration logging data from the on-premises database using Citrix Studio and import it into the Citrix Cloud configuration logging database.

Question 15

An administrator is migrating an on-premises Citrix Virtual Apps and Desktops site to Citrix DaaS. The on-premises site uses a Citrix ADC for load balancing StoreFront and a Citrix Gateway for remote access. The administrator wants to reuse the existing Citrix Gateway for remote access after the migration. Which statement is true regarding the Citrix Gateway configuration?

Accepted Answer

The Citrix Gateway must be updated to point to the StoreFront servers that are integrated with Citrix Cloud.. The Citrix Gateway acts as a secure remote access point and forwards traffic to StoreFront. After migrating to Citrix Cloud, StoreFront must be integrated with Citrix Cloud, and the gateway must be updated to point to those StoreFront servers. This maintains remote access while leveraging the cloud brokering service.

Answer

The Citrix Gateway must be configured to use the Citrix Cloud Connector as a session broker.

Answer

The Citrix Gateway can be reused without changes because it only handles authentication and secure connectivity.

Answer

The Citrix Gateway must be re-registered with Citrix Cloud using the Cloud Connector.
