Which account is used by FlexCast Management Architecture (FMA) services to access the Citrix Virtual Apps and Desktops SQL databases?
The FlexCast Management Architecture (FMA) services in Citrix Virtual Apps and Desktops use the Delivery Controller's machine account to access the SQL databases. This is because the services running on each controller authenticate themselves using their Active Directory machine accounts. This method allows the necessary rights and permissions to be assigned to the machine accounts, ensuring seamless access to the database for day-to-day operations.
Correct answer is A. The machine accounts has to have the necessary rights on the database.

A - is the correct answer https://support.citrix.com/article/CTX127998
FMA services leverage the Delivery Controller’s machine account to authenticate against SQL
Correct answer is A. The FMA services utilize the controller's AD machine account for accessing SQL during runtime, so user accounts are not leveraged.
A - "All services run under the NT AUTHORITY\Network service account – the controller machine account is used for authorization"(https://www.citrix.com/blogs/2016/04/14/under-the-hood-of-xenapp-xendesktop/)
Correct answer is A.
Correct Answer is A! These FMA services leverage the Delivery Controller’s machine account to authenticate against SQL.
C: is Correct! https://support.citrix.com/article/CTX127998 All runtime access to the central XenDesktop site database is performed by the services running on each controller. These services gain access to the database through their Active Directory machine accounts. This database access is sufficient to allow full day-to-day operation of the site including use of Desktop Studio, Desktop Director, and the service-specific SDKs.
A is the correct answer - please see the link below which explicitly note Controller Machine Account is used to grant to permission to database: https://support.citrix.com/article/CTX127998
Correct answer is A. These FMA services leverage the Delivery Controller’s machine account to authenticate against SQL. CWS-215-1I: Citrix Virtual Apps and Desktops 7 Administration On-Premises and in Citrix Cloud
correct is C... All FMA Service run under the NT Authority\network service account. Also, when authenticating to the central site database (this is where the configuration service plays an important role al well) all service use the local computer account of the machine that are currently running on Page 146: https://www.basvankaam.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/Inside-Citrix-The-FlexCast-Management-Architecture.pdf
The services gain access to the database server through their machine account logon (names of the form ‘DOMAIN\MACHINE$’). These logons do not need to be members of any server-level roles.
In a Citrix Virtual Apps and Desktops environment, the FlexCast Management Architecture (FMA) services use the local computer account of the Delivery Controller for database authentication purposes. Specifically, these services run under the NT AUTHORITY\Network Service account, which uses the Delivery Controller's machine account for accessing the SQL databases. This setup ensures that the passwords are automatically changed every 30 days, enhancing security https://www.basvankaam.com/inside-citrix-chapter-eighteen-the-one-with-all-the-fma-core-services/#:~:text=,accounts%20are%20usually%20very%20dangerous
