4.	What service is configured during installation of MetaFrame XP to support the use of published applications via NFuse? Shadowing XML TAPI modem setup Drive remapping

Answers

1.	þ C is correct. The default name used for a zone during installation is the IP subnet, or TCP\IP network number of the server. It is recommended to change this option from the default of multiple farms existing within the same subnet. ý A, B, and D are incorrect as they are not used for the zone name.
2.	þ D is the correct answer. Load balancing is not configurable during installation. However, it can be administered once the MetaFrame XP farm is operational. ý A, B, and C are incorrect as they are all options available for configuration during installation.
3.	þ Answers B and D are correct. The options to Prohibit Shadow Connections Without Notification and Prohibit Shadow Connection Without Logging meet the business requirements described. ý A is incorrect because remote control of sessions is required. C is incorrect because this option would disable shadowing altogether.
4.	þ B is the correct answer. In order for NFuse to function properly with published applications, XML services are used to facilitate communication between these components. ý A is incorrect because shadowing is used for controlling user sessions by remote. C is incorrect as TAPI modem setup is used for asynchronous connections. D is incorrect because drive remapping is used to support environments where the default drive selections are not permissible.

Deploying Multiple, Identical XP Servers

5.	What file is used as a template for a scripted installation of MetaFrame XP 1.0 for Windows 2000? \W2K\MF\unattend.txt \MF\Setup\install.exe \TSE\MF\unattend.txt \W2K\MF\install.exe
6.	Your company maintains an existing server farm and decides to add 15 new servers to support continued growth. You want to minimize the time required for installation and the configuration that must occur, while maintaining consistency throughout the server farm. What option best suits these requirements? Use a third-party application to clone a MetaFrame XP server and image all new server installations. Create an unattended installation using unattend.txt as a template. Specify the unattend.txt during setup to automate the installation process. Automated installations are not recommended for this scenario. Use the manual installation process. None of the above.
7.	What is the maximum number of simultaneous installations of MetaFrame XP that should occur within a single farm? 100 50 10 5
8.	As part of a MetaFrame XP server deployment, server cloning will be used to automate the installation process.

7.	þ C is the correct answer. The maximum number of recommended simultaneous installations within a server farm is 10. This prevents servers from timing out and causing installations to fail. ý A, B, and D are incorrect as they are not valid recommendations.
8.	þ A and B are correct. To support server cloning, the default zone name must be used, and the wfscname.ini file must be deleted from the root of the drive where MetaFrame XP is installed. ý C is incorrect because the Independent Management Architecture service must be set to manual in the services applet to prevent it from starting. D is incorrect because answer C does not provide a correct response.

Designing a Server Farm

9.	When designing a MetaFrame XP server farm, the database used for the data store is dependent upon issues such as number of servers, number of users, and so on. Which database technologies are recommended for large enterprise environments with more than 100 servers? ýChoose all that apply.) MS SQL Access Oracle Pervasive SQL
10.	When designing a zone configuration for a MetaFrame XP server farm, several factors determine this configuration. What is the maximum number of servers allowed, per zone, within a farm? 10 25 50 100
11.	Which data store database application does not support direct mode for MetaFrame XP server farms? MS SQL Oracle Pervasive SQL None of the above
12.	When designing server farms, there are several considerations that must be taken into account. Each one can drastically affect the outcome if not properly planned. Which of the following does not represent a farm design consideration? Database replication is not supported with Access License pooling Access is best used in centralized farms None of the above

Answers

9.	þ A and C are the correct answers. In large environments with a large number of servers, MS SQL and Oracle are designed to provide the scalability necessary to support this configuration. ý B is incorrect as Access should only be used in small environments. Answer D is incorrect because Pervasive SQL is not supported by MetaFrame XP.
10.	þ D is the correct answer. Up to 70 resolutions can occur per second, resulting in a maximum number of 100 servers, per zone, within a farm. ý A, B, and C do not apply to designing zone configurations.
11.	þ D is the correct answer. Based upon the architecture of Access, indirect mode allows MetaFrame to maintain the database while storing data from multiple sources. ý A and B are incorrect as both are recommended for use with direct mode as a data store within MetaFrame XP. C is incorrect as Pervasive SQL is not supported by MetaFrame XP.
12.	þ D is the correct answer. When designing server farms, all of the items listed directly impact the outcome. Database replication with Access directly impacts scalability in larger environments while license pooling affects farm layout. Access usage in centralized farms also deals directly with scalability issues with MetaFrame XP. ý A, B, and C are incorrect answers as they are all farm design considerations.

Migrating MetaFrame 1.8 Server Farms to XP

13.	What port is enabled on all MetaFrame XP servers for server-to-server communication for MetaFrame 1.8 communication within the same farm? TCP 2512 TCP 2513 UDP 2512 UDP 1604
14.	While operating in interoperability mode, MetaFrame XP must support and participate in ICA master browser elections. Based upon the following items, what is the proper sequence by which browser elections are decided? Citrix server is the Windows 2000 domain controller ICA Browser version ýhigher takes precedence) Configured as master browser ýw/server admin tool or registry) Computer name Length of time ICA Browser has been running 1, 4, 3, 5, 2 2, 3, 1, 5, 4 3, 2, 5, 1, 4 2, 1, 3, 4, 5
15.	While operating in mixed mode environments, application publishing and migration must be performed carefully to prevent inaccurate results. What process must be completed to ensure applications are published correctly within a mixed mode server farm? ýChoose all that apply.) New applications must be published to MetaFrame 1.8 servers using Published Application Manager on the MetaFrame 1.8 server. New applications must be published to MetaFrame 1.8 servers using Published Application Manager on the MetaFrame XP server. Applications modified with the MetaFrame XP Published Application Manager cannot later be administered from a MetaFrame 1.8 server. Applications modified with the MetaFrame XP Published Application Manager can later be administered from a MetaFrame 1.8 server.
16.	Published application load evaluation occurs differently in a mixed mode farm than with a MetaFrame XP server farm operating in native mode. What is the order by which the load is evaluated for client requests? MetaFrame XP servers are queried to determine lightest load based upon user connections. MetaFrame 1.8 servers are queried to determine lightest load based upon user connections. The ICA client connects to the master ICA browser to determine application availability. The master browser then chooses between the MetaFrame XP server and the MetaFrame 1.8 server with the least number of connected uses. If both servers contain equal values, the MetaFrame XP server will then be chosen 2, 3, 1, 4 1, 2, 3, 4 3, 1, 2, 4 4, 2, 1, 3

Answers

13.	þ D is the correct answer. UDP port 1604 is used by the legacy version of MetaFrame to communicate via server-to-server communications. This port is activated to support communication between MetaFrame XP servers and MetaFrame 1.8 servers. ý A is incorrect because it is only used in server-to-server communications between MetaFrame XP servers. B is incorrect because it is used to support communication from the Citrix Management Console to the server. C is incorrect because it is not used by MetaFrame for any function.
14.	þ The correct answer is B. When an election occurs to determine the ICA master browser, the ICA Browser version always takes precedence. Next, any server configured as master browser followed by Windows 2000 domain controllers win out. If not elected yet, the next criterion is the length of time the ICA Browser has been operational, and lastly, the computer decides if no other criteria was matched.
15.	þ B and C are correct answers. New applications must be published to MetaFrame 1.8 servers using Published Application Manager on the MetaFrame XP server. Once administered in this manner, they cannot later be modified from the older version of the utilities. ý A and D are incorrect because they directly contradict the answers provided in B and C.
16.	þ C is the correct answer. Load-balancing services and how they are evaluated maintain different standards in mixed mode to support backwards compatibility. Once the farm is migrated into native mode, advanced evaluators can be used to further define application load balancing. ý A, B, and D are incorrect as they are not placed in the proper sequence to determine server load values.

Connecting Clients to MetaFrame XP

17.	What utility is used to manage the client database stored on the MetaFrame XP server? The ICA Client Update Configuration utility The Client Connection Configuration utility The ICA Client Creation utility The Citrix Management Console
18.	As new client updates are released, the MetaFrame XP server allows administrators to automatically update clients as they initiate sessions. An administrator wants these upgrades to occur automatically without notifying the user while monitoring all downloads to determine who has been upgraded. Within the ICA Client Update Configuration utility, what options not set by default must be selected to support these requirements? Log downloaded clients Log errors during download Transparent client download mode Update older client versions only
19.	Which of the following are valid uses of the shadowing capabilities for client sessions within MetaFrame XP? Troubleshooting Training Monitoring None of the above
20.	What utility is used to configure shadowing options for MetaFrame XP? The ICA Client Update Configuration utility The Client Connection Configuration utility The ICA Client Creation utility The Citrix Management Console
