Exam Prep Questions
| 1. | The components deployed using Installation Manager are referred to as ________.
| ||||||||
| A1: | Answer D is correct. The applications and other software components being deployed are referred to as packages. Answer A is incorrect. Target servers are the MetaFrame servers upon which packages are installed. Answer C is also incorrect. Installation software for an application is not necessarily in a format that could be deployed through Installation Manager. Answer B is incorrect because a network share point describes the location where software packages are stored after they are ready for deployment through IM. | ||||||||
| 2. | Installation Manager supports three types of application packages. They are _______, _________, and _________. Citrix provides the Packager application, which allows you to create your own __________ packages for deployment.
| ||||||||
| A2: | Answer C is correct. Installation Manager allows you to deploy packages in the MSI, MSP, or ADF formats. You also can use the Packager application to create your own custom ADF packages. ADF is most often used to bundle programs or files that otherwise are not available in a supported format. Answers A, B, and D are incorrect. Although IM supports the use of transform files (MST), they are used only in conjunction with MSI packages and alone cannot be used to deploy applications. The Packager program also supports only ADF package creation. Neither MSP nor MSI packages can be created with this tool. | ||||||||
| 3. | One of the required components of Installation Manager is the _________________. One of the tasks accomplished using this component is application deployment scheduling and execution.
| ||||||||
| A3: | Answer B is correct. Using the Package Management Server, an administrator can manage all aspects of Installation Manager, including application deployment scheduling and execution. Answers A and C represent fictitious component names , and D represents a valid component, just not the correct answer to the question. | ||||||||
| 4. | Which options from the following list correctly describe a requirement for deploying Installation Manager? (Select all that apply.)
| ||||||||
| A4: | Answers A and C are correct. Installation Manager is available only with the Enterprise Edition of MetaFrame, and to use Installation Manager, a server running the Enterprise Edition of MPS and the Management Console must also be assigned the package management server role. This does not exclude this server from also servicing regular user logon requests . This server can also be designated as a target server if desired. Answers B and D are incorrect. When you install MPS 3.0 Enterprise Edition, all components of Installation Manager are installed by default. Also, target servers require only the Installer service and MPS Enterprise Edition to be a valid target server, regardless of the type of package being deployed. They do not require the Packager component, even though it is installed by default as part of the MPS Enterprise Edition. | ||||||||
| 5. | The default network connection credentials and file sharing location defined for Installation Manager can be overridden in _________________. (Select all that apply.)
| ||||||||
| A5: | Of the four choices, only answer C, package groups, is correct. When a package group is created, you can define alternate credentials and/or file share locations from which you can retrieve installation packages. The other three choices do not contain settings that pertain to the Installation Manager credentials or package locations. You can modify the default connection credentials and file share location within the properties of the Installation Manager node in the Management Console. | ||||||||
| 6. | An installation job that has been created requires a reboot to complete successfully. It was suggested that the Force Reboot After Install setting be chosen , but you want to ensure that the effects of this reboot have a minimal impact on the users. Choose the approach that would best achieve the desired goal.
| ||||||||
| A6: | Of the four answers given, answer B most closely achieves the scenario you desire . It extends the reboot time to the maximum value of 60 minutes, giving users sufficient time to complete what they are doing and log off before the reboot occurs. Answer A is incorrect because the Do Not Reboot Server If Any User Sessions Are Open setting does not override the Force Reboot After Install setting. Even with this option set, the server would still reboot once the time before reboot value had been reached, regardless of whether there were active users on the server. Answer C is also incorrect. While forcing users off before the installation might help the install run more smoothly, because you cannot adjust the time interval before users are forced off, they are limited to the 15-minute window, which might not leave the users with enough time to complete their current tasks. Answer D is incorrect because the option described does not exist. | ||||||||
| 7. | Assuming that the configuration for Installation Manager is complete and the desired server groups already exist, which of the following best summarizes the tasks you would perform to deploy an individual MSI application package? (Select only one.)
| ||||||||
| A7: | Answer D is correct because it accurately describes the tasks you would perform to deploy an individual MSI package. Because you are interested only in deploying an individual package, you are not required to perform any package group configuration. This is why answer A, although technically not incorrect, is not the correct answer in this case. Answer B is incorrect because you cannot define account credentials and a network share point for individual packages, only package groups. Answer C is also incorrect because the Packager utility cannot create MSI packages, only ADF packages. | ||||||||
| 8. | When copying an MSI or MSP installation package to a network share point, Microsoft recommends that you use the __________ command.
| ||||||||
| A8: | Answer A is correct. MSIEXEC is actually the executable for the Windows installer and is used to configure the MSI package for a network installation. Answers B, C, and D are all incorrect. None of these choices represent valid executable names. | ||||||||
| 9. | When you are scheduling the deployment of a package group, one of the available options allows you to define an installation window for the deployment. Choose the answer that best describes what happens if a package group deployment has not yet completed when the installation window end time is reached. (Select only one.)
| ||||||||
| A9: | Answer B is correct. If the maintenance window ends before the current installation is complete, it is allowed to finish, but no further deployments to any remaining target servers are initiated. These servers must either have a new deployment created for them, or additional schedule days need to be defined for the current job so that it can restart and complete the deployment. As a result, answer D is incorrect. Answer A is incorrect because the in-progress deployment is allowed to complete and is not terminated . Similarly, Answer C is incorrect because completed package installations are never uninstalled by a package deployment unless specifically configured to do so. | ||||||||
| 10. | You need to quickly retrieve a list of packages and package groups within a server farm. You open a command prompt and run the _______________ command to retrieve this information.
| ||||||||
| A10: | Answer C is correct. The /qp (query package) parameter returns a list of all packages and package groups currently defined within Installation Manager. Answers A and D are both invalid commands, while Answer B ( /qj ) would return job information instead of package information. | ||||||||
| 11. | Every ADF package has _______________, which contains all the Registry, environment variable, and file change information required to deploy the package onto a target server. This file can be found in the network share point folder from which the ADF package is deployed to target servers. (Choose only one.)
| ||||||||
| A11: | Answer A is correct. In any ADF package folder on a network share point, you will find a file with a .wfs extension. This plain-text file contains the information required to deploy the package onto the target server. Answer B is incorrect. Although there is a file with the .ael extension, it is the record log file and is located in the local package folder on the Packager server. This file is not found on the network share point. Answer C is also incorrect. The file with the .aep extension is the binary project file that contains information about the package project that is editable from within the Packager application. This file is not part of the actual ADF package deployment. Answer D is incorrect. There is no such thing as an .adf file created when generating an ADF package. | ||||||||
| 12. | Which of the following are not valid project wizards in the Packager application? (Select all that apply.)
| ||||||||
| A12: | Answers B and C are correct. Neither are valid project wizards in the Packager application. MSI packages cannot be created using the ADF packager, and service packs or hotfixes can be packaged only using the Package an Unattended Program Wizard. Answers A and D represent valid project wizards and so are not correct answers to this question. | ||||||||
| 13. | When you are using the Package Selected Files Wizard, it is important to remember that the selected files ____________________. (Select all answers that would make this a truthful statement.)
| ||||||||
| A13: | Of the four answers, only answer B creates a truthful statement. The path from which a file is selected is automatically used as the destination path on the target server. Answer A is incorrect because MSI, MSP, or any other file type could be packaged and deployed using this wizard. The packaged file is not actually executed using this deployment method. It simply copies the file over the proper destination folder on the target server. Answer C is incorrect. Files are not saved into the same folder unless they were in the same folder on the Package server. D is incorrect. Files can be retrieved from either location. When using a network location as the source location you need to verify that the TARGETDIR symbol is pointing to the desired target location and is not going to accidentally overwrite the original source files. |
