Citrix 1Y0-204 - CCA-V Citrix Virtual Apps and Desktops 7 Administration exam

The Resource Utilization view in Citrix Director accesses historical trend information of CPU, memory, and disk latency for each machine running the VDA. This view helps the administrator to monitor the resource consumption and performance of the machines1

Comprehensive and Detailed Explanation

(Paraphrased — Citrix-Accurate)

Citrix provides a feature called Browser Content Redirection (BCR), which allows web content to be offloaded from the VDA to the endpoint device. This includes HTML5 content, videos, and general web rendering tasks.

Key points about BCR from Citrix documentation:

Web pages render directly on the client, not inside the VDA session

This reduces CPU and GPU load on the VDA

Improves performance for video-heavy or media-rich websites

Enhances scalability for multi-user server OS environments

Works with supported browsers (e.g., Chrome, Edge) with Citrix policies enabled

Therefore, BCR is the correct feature when the administrator wants rendering to occur locally on the client machine rather than on the server.

Why the other options are incorrect:

A. Microsoft Teams OptimizationOnly optimizes Teams audio/video meetings — not general web or video content.

B. Enlightened Data Transport (EDT)Optimizes ICA transport protocol, not browser rendering.

D. Citrix OptimizerA tool for tuning OS images; does not handle content redirection.

Application Probing is a monitoring feature in Citrix Director that automatically launches configured probes to test the availability and responsiveness of published applications.

Citrix added full support for application probing in Citrix Virtual Apps and Desktops 2203 LTSR. Therefore:

2203 LTSR is the oldest LTSR that supports application probing

1912 LTSR and 7.15 LTSR → Do not support application probing

2402 LTSR → Supports probing, but it is newer, not the oldest

Thus, the earliest LTSR with application probe support is 2203 LTSR.

CVAD 2203 LTSR Feature Introduction

CVAD 2402 LTSR Monitoring Enhancements

 CDF Control is a tool that can be used to collect information to investigate issues with session performance. CDF Control allows the administrator to enable and disable tracing, collect trace logs, and analyze them using Citrix Scout or Citrix Insight Services

The administrator received this error because they did not run the Add-PSSnapin Citrix* command before running the Get-BrokerSite PowerShell command. This is required to load the Citrix PowerShell snap-ins.

In the scenario described, when network connectivity to Citrix Cloud is lost, the Local Host Cache (LHC) feature allows one of the Citrix Cloud Connectors at the resource location to become the primary broker. This enables it to broker new sessions and manage existing HDX connections using the LHC, ensuring continuity of service during outages

Citrix Profile Management includes two key filtering policies that determine which users CPM will apply to:

Processed Groups — Only users in these groups will have their profiles managed by CPM.

Excluded Groups — Users in these groups will never be processed by CPM, even if they appear in Processed Groups.

Citrix documentation states:

If Processed Groups is enabled, only the groups listed are processed.

If a user belongs to an Excluded Group, CPM is disabled for that user regardless of other group memberships.

Users not listed in either policy will not be processed by CPM when Processed Groups is enabled.

Given the policy configuration:

✔ Product Marketing Team (Processed Group)

Members are processed.

✔ Human Resources Team (Not listed anywhere)

Since Processed Groups is enabled, HR members are not processed.→ Matches Answer C

✔ IT Team (Excluded Group)

Explicitly excluded.→ Not processed.

✔ Professional Sales Team (Excluded Group)

Explicitly excluded.→ Matches Answer D

Other options incorrectly contradict Citrix Profile Management logic.
