CCA-V practice examsIn development
Citrix Certified Associate - Virtual Apps and Desktops
Administering the largest on-premises published-desktop estate there is: the FlexCast Management Architecture and what each component does, the connection sequence that locates any launch failure, machine catalogues and delivery groups, MCS against PVS, Citrix policies with their filters and priorities, and the profile, printing and Director work that support actually consists of.
What you get
Papers are cut from the bank and weighted like the real exam, and no question appears in two of them. Every wrong answer comes back on later days until you have it right.
What the exam covers
| Architecture, components and the connection sequence | Not published |
| Provisioning, policies and supporting the environment | Not published |
Two sample questions
1. Which is a benefit of image versioning?
- Testing and rolling back changes safely — correct
- Streaming the image out to more of the machines
- Applying policy at the correct scope
- Roaming the profile between machines
Why: Image versioning lets changes be tested and rolled back safely.
2. What choice affects density and cost most?
- Server vs desktop OS — correct
- Studio versus Director
- MCS versus HDX
- Zone versus site
Why: Server OS (multi-session) versus desktop OS (single-user) strongly affects density and cost.
