These 10 free CCA-V questions are organized by exam domain, so you can see how each part of the Citrix Certified Associate - Virtualization blueprint is tested. Reveal the answer and explanation under each question.

Domain 1: Deploying Citrix Virtual Apps and Desktops

Question 1

In a CVAD 2402 LTSR deployment, a tested master-image update has been assigned to an MCS catalog of nonpersistent, multi-session machines. A pilot VDA restarted through Studio runs the new application version; VDAs that have remained running still run the old version. Spare capacity is sufficient for a rolling update. Users must finish their work without forced logoffs, and enough hosts must remain available for new arrivals throughout the rollout. Choose the deployment plan that meets both requirements.

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: B - Drain small batches, restart them through Studio, and return them to service before proceeding.

Question 2

Capacity testing establishes that one multi-session VDA can safely support 50 resident sessions for a particular workload. At the daily peak there are 275 active sessions and 45 disconnected sessions whose applications remain running. The site must have enough capacity for that entire workload with one VDA out of service; disconnected sessions may not be logged off to create capacity. What is the minimum number of identically sized VDAs to provision?

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: A - 8 VDAs

Domain 2: Providing Resources to End Users

Question 3

The Finance Delivery Group permits CORP\Finance. Payroll has a separate application-level restriction permitting only CORP\PayrollClerks. Three auditors belong to CORP\Finance but not CORP\PayrollClerks; CORP\PayrollAuditors contains exactly those three accounts. They must receive Payroll access without granting it to other Finance users. There are no application-group restrictions. Where should the administrator make the change?

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: A - Add CORP\PayrollAuditors to the Payroll application's permitted users.

Question 4

A policy review for an employee's new session shows four Citrix policies in the same policy set: Priority 1: Client clipboard redirection = Prohibited; filtered to contractors, so it does not apply. Priority 2: Applies to the employee; Client clipboard redirection = Not configured. Priority 4: Applies to the employee; Client clipboard redirection = Allowed. Priority 6: Applies to the employee; Client clipboard redirection = Prohibited. No other policy source configures this setting. What is the effective value, and why?

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: B - Allowed, because priority 4 is the highest-priority applicable policy that configures the setting.

Domain 3: Providing Access to App and Desktop Resources

Question 5

External users can sign in through Citrix Gateway and see their applications, but launches time out. The same applications launch internally. STA ticket validation succeeds; the failed connection is from Gateway to the selected VDA. Session Reliability is enabled, Adaptive Transport is Off, and TLS is not configured on the VDA. Which firewall rule restores the missing session path without exposing the VDAs directly to the Internet?

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: C - Allow Citrix Gateway to connect to the VDAs on TCP 2598.

Domain 4: Citrix Virtual Apps and Desktops Basic Security Considerations

Question 6

A regional support team must disconnect user sessions and restart machines in the Sales Delivery Groups. It must not change application assignments or administer other departments. An existing Sales scope contains the relevant Delivery Groups. Using Citrix built-in roles, which assignment grants the required access without the additional privileges?

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: B - Help Desk Administrator role with the Sales scope.

Domain 5: Monitoring Citrix Virtual Apps and Desktops Deployments

Question 7

During a five-minute period of sluggish typing on APP07, Director shows ICA RTT of 330 ms, ICA latency of 22 ms, and output bandwidth consumption of 1.5 Mb/s against 15 Mb/s available. APP07 CPU remains near 95%, largely consumed by a reporting process. The same endpoints respond normally when running the same application on APP08. What does this evidence make the strongest initial focus of investigation?

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: D - APP07's reporting workload, because ICA RTT can include host processing delay.

Domain 6: Troubleshooting

Question 8

A branch firewall change blocks UDP but leaves the required TCP session path open. Effective HDX Adaptive Transport is Preferred. New Citrix sessions now use TCP, with successful launches and acceptable response times. The service desk proposes suspending the branch's published desktops until EDT is restored. How should the administrator respond?

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: A - Keep TCP sessions available and investigate the blocked UDP path separately.

Domain 7: Printing

Question 9

For a planned maintenance test, the Universal Print Server service on PRINT01 is stopped while its native Windows printing service remains available. A user then starts a fresh Citrix session. Policy permits auto-creation of the laptop's USB printer and separately assigns a network queue on PRINT01 through Session printers. Universal Print Server is set to Enabled without fallback. Both printers worked before the test, and no other printing settings change. Predict the result in the new session.

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: D - The network queue fails to connect, while the USB client printer can still be auto-created and used.

Domain 9: Citrix Cloud

Question 10

Two production resource locations each contain one Cloud Connector. Either Connector has enough capacity to handle its own location's full workload. The design must let each location remain operational while one of its Connectors is restarted for maintenance. Which revision provides the required Connector redundancy?

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: C - Add one dedicated Cloud Connector within each of the two resource locations.
