Exam Prep Questions

1.

You are the Citrix administrator for the Champ Company. You are in the process of installing an application on one of your MetaFrame Presentation Servers. What is the best way to prevent users from signing on to the server?

	From within the Management Console, right-click the server in question and click Properties. Select MetaFrame Settings, uncheck the box next to Enable Logons to This Server, and click OK.
	Open a command prompt on the server and type Disable Logons .
	From within the Management Console, expand the Servers node and select the server in question. Right-click the server name and select Disable New Logons.
	From within the Management Console, right-click the farm node in the left control pane and select Properties. Select MetaFrame Settings and remove the server from the list.

A1:

Answer A is correct. To disable logons to an MPS server, you should expand the Servers node in the Management Console, right-click the server in question, and click Properties. Then select MetaFrame Settings, uncheck the box next to Enable Logons to This Server, and click OK. Answer B is incorrect because no such command exists; the correct command to disable logons from a command prompt is change logon /disable . Answer C is incorrect because the steps are incorrect, and you can't disable new logons by right-clicking a server. The Disable New Logons option does not exist. Answer D is incorrect because you can't disable logins from the farm node.

2.

How can you easily copy the configuration settings for the SpeedScreen Latency Reduction Manager after you have created and configured settings on a particular server?

	Copy the %systemroot% directory.
	Copy the %systemroot%\system32\Citrix directory.
	Copy the %systemroot%\system32\ss3config directory.
	Copy the %systemroot%\system32\Citrix\SpeedScreen directory.

A2:

Answer C is correct. The correct path where SpeedScreen Latency Reduction Manager stores its configuration files is %systemroot\%system32\ss3config. Copying this directory to other MPS servers spares you the trouble of running the configurations on every server. All the other answers are incorrect because none of those folders contain the files needed.

3.

What do you call the MPS server in a zone that stores information about the server loads and published applications?

	Master ICA browser
	Local Host
	Master IMA browser
	Data Collector

A3:

Answer D is correct. The Data Collector is the server elected in every zone that would be responsible for collecting and distributing information about server loads and published applications. Answer A is incorrect because the Master ICA Browser existed in MF 1.8 but does not exist in MPS 3.0. Answer B is incorrect because the Local Host Cache is a Microsoft Access database that exists on every MPS server and does not gather information about user load and published applications in a zone. Answer C is incorrect because there is no such thing as a Master IMA Browser.

4.

What happens if you have a user who is using an older version of the ICA client and is unable to transmit the local time of the machine he is connected to, and you have disabled local time estimation on the server?

	Nothing, all ICA clients are able to transmit their local time.
	Any files that the user creates and saves through that session are time-stamped according the client's time.
	The server uses Eastern Standard Time by default when it cannot query the client time and time-stamps any files accordingly .
	Any files that the user creates and saves through the ICA session are time-stamped with the server's local time.

A4:

Answer D is correct. When a user is using a legacy ICA client that cannot transmit its local time to the server, the server can estimate the time for the client. In this case, the time estimation option is disabled on the server; therefore, the server's local time is used to time-stamp files. Answer A is incorrect because the statement is incorrect; older ICA clients could not transmit time. Answer B is incorrect because the user is using an older client that can't transmit, so there is no way for the server to time-stamp files created with the client's time because that time is unknown. Answer C is incorrect because there is no default setting that reverts to Eastern Standard Time in the event that the client's local time is unknown.

5.

You are a helpdesk technician who wants to multitask and help several people at the same time. Which utility at your disposal would allow you to shadow multiple users at the same time? (Choose all that apply.)

	Citrix Connection Configuration
	Citrix Server Administration
	The Management Console
	Shadow Taskbar

A5:

Answers C and D are correct. The only two utilities that allow you to shadow more than one user at a time are the Shadow Taskbar and Management Console. Answer A is incorrect because Citrix Connection Configuration is not a user manager utility. Answer B is incorrect because the Citrix Server Administration can shadow only one user at a time, and it is considered a legacy administration tool from the MF 1.8 days.

6.

Which tool is considered the centralized management tool in your MetaFrame Presentation Server farm?

	Citrix Server Administrator
	Citrix Console Manager
	Citrix Management Console
	The Management Console for MetaFrame Presentation Server

A6:

Answer D is correct. The correct name of the console is the Management Console, and it is the centralized administration tool for an MPS server farm. Answer A is incorrect because Citrix Server Administration is a legacy administration tool and is by no means a centralized tool. Answer B is incorrect because there is no utility called Citrix Console Manager. Answer C is also incorrect because the name has changed for the Management Console; it is no longer called the Citrix Management Console but rather the Management Console for MetaFrame Presentation Server. I purposely put this question in here to warn you that Citrix may use tricky questions like these on the exam.

7.

Because your network has heavy latency and you have users who connect over poor communications links, you have decided to enable Local Text Echo to improve application responsiveness to keyboard strokes. However, when you run an application, you notice that the Local Text Echo is not working and the lag is unbearable. Why do you think that is the case?

	The application is not configured with Local Text Echo.
	The connection is too weak to enable Local Text Echo.
	The server is not configured to allow Local Text Echo.
	The server is using the MPS 3.0 Standard Edition, and Local Text Echo is not supported.

A7:

Answer A is correct. Even though you enabled the SpeedScreen Latency Reduction Manager, you should still add an application before it can take advantage of the technology. Answer B is incorrect because the whole point of Local Text Echo is to function over weak connections. Answer C is incorrect because you know that SpeedScreen is enabled. Answer D is incorrect because all flavors of MPS support SpeedScreen.

8.

Which of the following can the Management Console be used to manage? (Choose all that apply.)

	MetaFrame 1.8 servers
	Printer drivers
	License information
	Published applications

A8:

Answers B and D are correct. Answer A is incorrect because the Management Console cannot be used to manage MF 1.8 servers. Answer C is incorrect because starting with MPS 3.0, the licensing module has been moved from the Management Console into its own Citrix License Server.

9.

Where would you go to configure the timeout settings for a disconnected session in the Citrix Connection Configuration utility?

	Advanced
	Client Settings
	Session connection Settings
	ICA Settings

A9:

Answer A is correct. The Advanced button is the location in the Citrix Connection Configuration utility where you would go to control timeout settings for a disconnected session. All other answers are incorrect.

10.

You have enabled SpeedScreen Latency Reduction for your accounting applications and have configured Local Text Echo. Your users are claiming that when they try to log in to the accounting package, their passwords are being displayed in clear text rather than in a hidden format. How should you address this situation so that the password file does not display the actual characters ?

	In the application's properties window, select the Input Field Configuration tab and check the box next to Input Field Is a Password.
	In the application's properties window, select the Input Field Configuration tab, click the Advanced button, and select This Is a Password Field.
	Disable Local Text Echo because there is no workaround for this problem.
	This application cannot hide the password field and displays the text by design.

A10:

Answer A is correct. The right place to enable a field as a password field and as such hide the characters being typed is the application's properties window. In the Input Field Configuration tab, a check box treats this field as a password field and therefore hides the characters. All other answers are incorrect.
