Scenario: A Citrix Architect is designing a new Citrix Virtual Apps and Desktops environment. The architect has identified the Resource Layer requirements shown in the exhibit.
Click the Exhibit button to view the requirements.
Which feature of Citrix Profile Management could help the architect address the Graphic Designers Group requirements while minimizing login time?
The feature of Citrix Profile Management that could help address the Graphic Designers Group requirements while minimizing login time is Profile Streaming. Profile streaming allows the profile to be loaded on-demand as pieces of it are needed, rather than downloading the entire profile at login. This significantly reduces the login time, making it suitable for environments where large amounts of data are involved, such as for Graphic Designers. Folder redirection could also help with managing large amounts of data by redirecting them away from the profile load process, but Profile Streaming is specifically designed to minimize login time by streaming the profile data as needed.
Guys you are misreading the question - which feature of Citrix Profile Management... It’s profile streaming Folder redirection is GPO :)
But you can use folder redirection in citrix studio policies or in GPO: User Configuration > Administrative Templates > Classic Administrative Templates (ADM) > Citrix > Profile Management > Folder Redirection: I think its C
the keyword here is "minimizing login time". By redirecting Appdata, this is definitely the solution. No matter how large AppData grows, it will not be affecting login time, as it is redirected.
That makes the right answer = Folder Redirection.
you're wrong, it is the opposite
FR is a solution, this solution do not any streaming.It is just links on file resources and volume of this file resources have no limits.
This note is from the original courseware: "Folder redirection is almost the same consideration as active write back, it is a great feature, but if an application is relying heavily on putting temporary data in a redirected appdata folder, you might see poor performance in the application and even in the general user experience and logon performance"... Active Write Back won't help and exclusions is no solution. A should be right!
and how Profile streaming would help to put user data [assume average designer have tens of Gb of files in their local projects] into profile location ? )
I agree with you Bobo11, I think C is correct. If there is a large amount of data being written to AppData, redirecting it as opposed to copying it will achieve the desired outcome in the best way.
I am confused; yes by default Profile Streaming will speed up login time. But Folder redirection (Redirect AppData) will also speed up login (when application is written correctly) because this big amount of data does not need to be transferred over the network. Help me out.....!
your confusing may to have very positive point: FR is a solution
Question is "Which feature of Citrix Profile Management"......"minimizing login time?". Folder redirection is a Microsoft solution. Official page reads: Folder redirection is a feature of Microsoft Windows and can be used with Profile Management. So I go with Profile Streaming!
From the student manual: With user profile streaming...reducing profile load time to almost zero.
I agree its c. https://docs.citrix.com/en-us/profile-management/current-release/profile-management-best-practices.html Look for "Note" in the purple box!
It's A. Because, as following the link you shared "Do not redirect the desktop folder if it is too large. Otherwise, a black screen might occur on when a user logs on." Check the Graphic Designers' table "The application reads and writes a high volume of data to and from the AppData folder." So, the solution is Profile Streaming, redirection increases logon times.
A and C will reduce login time, but I guess, Citrix would like to hear their own solution and this is Profile Streaming. I tend to choose A...
Would Active Write Back not be the right answer
