Identifying the Key Benefits of Deploying MetaFrame

1.	Which version of MetaFrame XP does not support load balancing? 1.8 XPs XPa XPe
2.	Which of the following are key benefits of MetaFrame? ýChoose all that apply.) Reach Complexity Performance Security
3.	In MetaFrame XP, Citrix Server Administrator, Load Balancing Administrator, and Published Application Manager are replaced by what? CMC DAT IMA ICA
4.	Your company wants to deploy an inexpensive, simple device to its employees for home use. It should integrate monitor, keyboard, and mouse and have no hard drive, but it should be capable of running the ICA client. It should be able to access the Internet and print out documents to a local printer. What device would be best suited for this scenario? PDA Calculator Net appliance Commodore
5.	You need to provide your users with easy access to a Citrix-based application without the need to deploy the ICA client manually. What Citrix technology would best meet these requirements? ICA IMS RMS NFuse
6.	How does MetaFrame XP interoperate with MetaFrame 1.8? Through native mode Through mixed mode Through heritage mode Through lineage mode
7.	The CMC will run on NT 4.0 and Windows 2000 platforms using what method? ActiveX Java MMC Web Portal

Answers

1.	þ B. MetaFrame XPs is intended as a small-scale server and does not include load balancing. ý A, C, and D are incorrect because they all support load balancing.
2.	þ A, C, and D are correct because they are all key benefits of deploying MetaFrame. ý B is incorrect because a key benefit of deploying MetaFrame is its simplicity, therefore complexity would be incorrect.
3.	þ A. Citrix Management Console ýCMC) replaces most of the MetaFrame 1.8 management utilities. ý B is incorrect because DAT stands for Digital Audio Tape. This is a type of magnetic media. C is incorrect because IMA stands for Independent Management Architecture, which is the concept and protocol that CMC uses. D is incorrect because ICA stands for the Independent Computing Architecture, a performance-improving protocol.
4.	þ C. A net appliance is an ideal solution, allowing home users to access the Web, e-mail, and Citrix applications, and yet keep maintenance costs down. ý A would be a costly solution due to the requirements necessary for PDAs to access the Internet. Therefore, it would not best fit this scenario. A calculator is not capable of running an ICA client ýyet), thus B would not be a correct answer. Commodore is also not capable of running an ICA client, therefore D would be incorrect.
5.	þ D, NFuse, is correct. It would allow you to simply distribute a URL to your users and allow the NFuse site to automatically install the ICA client. ý A, ICA, is the protocol the connection would use to make the connection, but would not directly allow you to access the URL, thus it is incorrect. B, IMS, is used for installing packaged applications to the servers in your farm, therefore it is incorrect. C, RMS, is used to monitor the system for faults and performance thresholds and therefore is incorrect.
6.	þ B, Through mixed mode, is correct. MetaFrame XP uses mixed mode to interoperate with MetaFrame 1.8. ý A, Through native mode, is how an XP farm operates after all legacy 1.8 servers have been upgraded, therefore it is incorrect. C, Through heritage mode, and D, Through lineage mode, cite invalid modes, thus they are incorrect.
7.	þ B, Java is correct. CMC uses Java, allowing it to be independent of the Citrix server. ý A, ActiveX, is not used in the CMC, therefore it is incorrect. C, MMC, is incorrect because there are no Citrix snap-ins for MMC yet. D, Web Portal is incorrect because at the present time there are no Web-based utilities for managing Citrix.

Understanding Digital Independence

8.	IMA uses what port for communication? 1494 1604 2512 2513
9.	Your help desk is very busy visiting user desktops to fix simple problems. What feature of MetaFrame can help reduce physical visits to the desktop? Installation Management Services Resource Management Services SecureICA Services Shadowing
10.	What are the install options for implementing shadowing? ýChoose all that apply.) Prohibit remote control of ICA sessions Prohibit shadow connections without notification Prohibit shadow connections without logging Do not allow shadowing of ICA sessions on this server
11.	What is Digital Independence? Where do you want to go today? Any application, on any device, over any connection. Vendor diversity in thin client deployments. Platform freedom for ICA clients.
12.	Identify the NFuse Web clients. ýChoose all that apply.) C++ ActiveX Java Plug-In
13.	What is a major limiting factor on net appliances when running mainstream applications locally? Low power CPU Large hard drive Small screen No mouse

Answers

8.	þ C, 2512, is the UDP port IMA uses for communication. ý Since C is correct, A, B, and D are therefore incorrect.
9.	þ D, Shadowing, allows administrators to view and control the user's desktop. This can eliminate many visits to the desktop. ý A, Installation Management Services, is used to install and deploy applications across server farms, therefore, it is incorrect. B, Resource Management Services, is used to monitor server performance, thus it is not correct. C, SecureICA Services, provides encryption to the ICA data stream, but does not reduce the help desk's visits to the desktop. Therefore, it is not correct.
10.	þ A, B, C, and D are all correct. All these options are available during install.
11.	þ B is correct. Any application, on any device, over any connection is the marketing definition for Citrix's Digital Independence concept. ý Since B is correct, A, C, and D are therefore incorrect.
12.	þ B, C, and D are correct. Citrix utilizes ActiveX, Java, and Plug-In technologies to provide Web-based clients. ý A, C++, is incorrect because C++ is not used to provide Web-based clients.
13.	þ A, Low power CPU, is correct. Net appliances typically have very low power processors that prevent mainstream applications from running successfully. ý B is incorrect because net appliances typically do not have hard drives. C is incorrect because, while net appliances may have smaller than normal screens, that would not prevent them from running applications. D is incorrect because net appliances do have pointing devices.

Identifying the Benefits of MetaFrame Interoperability

14.	How many farms does XP utilize to implement interoperability? Five Four Two One
15.	What modes of operation does MetaFrame support? ýChoose all that apply.) Interoperability Mixed Compatibility Native
16.	Which version of MetaFrame XP does not support load balancing? XPs XPa XPe None of the above. ýThey all support load balancing.)
17.	You have completed your migration from MetaFrame 1.8 to MetaFrame XP and are now ready to move to native mode. How would you go about making the change? Reinstall MetaFrame on the first XP server to reinitialize the database and choose native mode operation during the installation. From CMC, choose the Properties option of the server farm and from the Interoperability tab, uncheck the Work With MetaFrame 1.8 Servers In The Farm box. On the master browser, open a command window and type qserver /native. Stop and start the Program Neighborhood service, as well as the ICA browser service, on all servers in the farm. From CMC, delete the server farm and create a new one with a different name.
18.	What two items will cause an ICA master browser election? Two master browsers are detected on the same subnet. A domain controller is rebooted. The ICA master browser does not respond to a client. A MetaFrame server is shut down.

Answers

14.	þ C is correct. XP actually places a MetaFrame 1.8 farm and a MetaFrame XP farm that co-operates with the MetaFrame 1.8 farm. ý Since C is correct, A, B, and D are therefore incorrect.
15.	þ B, Mixed, and D, Native, are correct. MetaFrame XP uses two modes of operation to support legacy MetaFrame 1.8 and WinFrame 1.8 farms. Mixed mode provides a backward compatibility that should only be used while migrating the farm to XP. Native mode supports all the new features available in XP. ý A, Interoperability, and C, Compatibility, are not valid modes for MetaFrame XP, therefore they are incorrect.
16.	þ A, XPs, does not support load balancing. It is intended as a small-scale server used for a small number of users. ý B, XPa, and C, XPe, are incorrect because they both support load balancing. D, None of the above, is incorrect because XPs does not support load balancing.
17.	þ B is correct. To change to native mode, all that is required is to uncheck the box on the Interoperability tab. ý A, C, and D are incorrect because they will not change the farm to native mode.
18.	A and C are correct. An ICA browser election occurs when either event occurs. B and D are incorrect because these events do not cause ICA browser elections.
