Correct answer: SQL Server Always On Basic Availability Groups

Citrix recommends using SQL Server Always On Availability Groups (including Basic Availability Groups) for Site database high availability. It provides robust database-level redundancy. Other options like SQL Server replication or mirroring are either unsupported, deprecated by Microsoft, or not recommended for the core Site database.

Correct answer: Add the FQDN of each Delivery Controller manually during the environment configuration step of the VDA installer or use a GPO to assign the ListOfDDCs.

To ensure VDA fault tolerance, an administrator must provide the FQDNs of all Delivery Controllers. This can be done directly during the VDA installation wizard (adding each one) or centrally managed via Group Policy using the ListOfDDCs policy setting. Relying on a single FQDN creates a single point of failure for registration.

Correct answers: Citrix Config Synchronizer Service (CSS); Citrix High Availability Service

The Citrix Config Synchronizer Service (CSS) and the Citrix High Availability Service are the two core components of Local Host Cache. The CSS periodically copies configuration data from the Site database to the local High Availability database on the Controller.

The Citrix High Availability Service runs on the Delivery Controller and takes over the brokering of sessions when the principal Site database is unreachable, utilizing the locally synced SQL Server Express database.

Correct answer: WEM Agent

The WEM Agent is the component that must be installed on the Virtual Delivery Agent (VDA) machines. It connects to the WEM Infrastructure Service to retrieve settings and applies the optimizations to the user's session. The other components manage or store the configurations.

Correct answer: Exclusion list - directories

The 'Exclusion list - directories' (and files) policy is used to prevent specific folders, such as AppData\Local\Google\Chrome\User Data\Default\Cache, from being synchronized to the profile store. Profile Streaming optimizes how profiles are loaded, but doesn't prevent data from being stored. Active Write Back synchronizes files during the session, not excluding them.

Correct answer: Take a snapshot of the master VM -> Select 'Update Machines' on the Machine Catalog -> Choose rollout strategy (on next reboot or immediately).

To update an MCS catalog, the administrator must first power down the master image (optional but recommended) and take a hypervisor snapshot. Then, in Citrix Studio, right-click the Machine Catalog (not the Delivery Group) and select 'Update Machines'. The wizard will prompt for a rollout strategy, allowing the admin to apply the update immediately or at the next reboot.
