Question 31

Scenario: A Citrix Engineer needs to use Citrix App Layering to create layered images for use with a Citrix Virtual Apps and Desktops environment.

The environment currently has the following (MCS) Machine Creation Services-provisioned images.

-Windows 10 Virtual Delivery Agent (VDA) machines with App A, App B, and App C installed

-Windows 10 VDA machines with App A and App B installed

Application A is a common app that is needed by all users. Application B is a time reporting app needed by all individual contributors, and Application C is a managerial app needed by executives, but restricted from use by everyone else.

The environment uses Citrix Hypervisor to host all VDA machines.

To meet the minimum requirements while reducing administrative effort, the engineer would need __________ layered image(s), using __________.

    Correct Answer: A

    To meet the minimum requirements while reducing administrative effort, the engineer would need 1 layered image using an Elastic Layer. Application A is common to all users, while Applications B and C need to be assigned based on user roles. An Elastic Layer can dynamically deliver these specific applications to different users based on their needs without requiring multiple base images or significant administrative overhead.

Discussion
JandreOption: A

A is correct.

keplerOption: A

no where in the question mentioning executive users need to install or write within a session. so B is wrong. A is correct.

WardiOption: A

Should be A

ctxnerdOption: A

A = Elastic layer is a better solution for the requirement

TedEx2Option: A

I think is A, imho there's no need for user layer in this scenario. Executives don't need to install appC or to have read/write.

rikiliOption: A

I think it's should be A. "Elastic layers allow you to give each user a unique set of applications along with the common apps included in the base image. On session hosts, an elastic layer is used across sessions. On standalone desktops, elastic layers are used across floating pools and shared groups." https://docs.citrix.com/en-us/citrix-app-layering/4/layer/assign-elastic-layers.html

User layer is an elastic layer, B is a safer answer.

hawkensOption: C

Sorry, minimum requirements!

hawkensOption: A

The question states minimal effort, so I will go with A https://www.carlstalhood.com/app-layering-os-layer/ User Layers require additional consideration for backup, replication, and recovery.

cris66Option: A

The real world answer is C and Why would you use App Layering in this scenario unless you enjoy wasting lots of money and time? But for this exam A. https://www.citrix.com/blogs/2019/07/09/citrix-app-layering-four-common-mistakes-and-how-to-avoid-them/ not all apps will work with Elastic Layering and bad logon performance.

EUC_PROOption: A

I agree with others. A is correct.

MIKKELMEOption: A

A is correct. User layers has nothing to do with restricting/giving access to applications.

rjdaisog03Option: A

a is correct

majkelOption: A
