Citrix CCA MetaFrame Presentation Server 3. 0 and 4. 0 Exam CramT (Exams 223 and 256)

Which of the following statements about MetaFrame Access Suite Licensing are not true? (Choose all that apply.)

The trick to this question is recognizing that we're asking for the statements that are not true about MASL. For this question, answers A, C, and D are correct. Answer A is not a truthful statement because MASL is not an optional component and is required by all versions of MPS 3.0 (Standard, Advanced, and Enterprise). Answer C is also not truthful . MASL servers do not maintain a connection with any other MASL servers and do not share information. It is the MetaFrame 3.0 server that maintains a continuously open connection with the assigned license server. Answer D is the final untruthful statement. An MASL server never issues temporary licenses if no valid licenses are available. If all available licenses are currently in use, any new connections are denied until a license becomes available.

Of the four answers, only answer B is a truthful statement because the new MASL is not backward compatible with MetaFrame XP or earlier versions. Licensing for earlier versions will operate completely independent of MASL.

You have set up a test environment with a single MetaFrame Presentation Server (Standard Edition) and MetaFrame Access Suite Licensing on the same server. You have decided to hold off on downloading the license files from MyCitrix and want to begin doing some work with a test user who does not have administrative privileges. How long a grace period do you have before the user will no longer be able to connect and you will need to install the license file?

Answer C is correct. Until you add a license file to the MASL server, it operates in the startup grace period, which allows for a maximum of two nonadministrators to log on to a MetaFrame server for a maximum of 96 hours (4 days) before a valid license file must be installed on the license server. Therefore, answers A, B, and D are incorrect.

When MetaFrame Access Suite Licensing is installed, services added as part of the installation work together to provide the licensing management functionality. What are these services? (Choose all that apply.)

Answers B and D are correct. The License Manager Daemon and the Citrix Vendor Daemon are the two services installed as part of MASL and are responsible for managing the issuance of licenses to both the MetaFrame servers and the clients that connect to them. Answer A, while a valid service, is not installed with MASL. The IMA service runs on a MetaFrame Presentation Server and manages communications between MetaFrame servers and the Data Store. Answer D is also incorrect because there is no such service called the ICA Vendor Daemon.

During startup of the MetaFrame Access Suite License server, by default the License Manager Daemon listens on ________, while the Citrix Vendor Daemon listens on _______.

Answer D is correct. The License Manager Daemon listens by default on port 27000, while the Citrix Vendor Daemon chooses to listen on a random available port during startup. You can modify these defaults if you want. A MetaFrame Presentation Server determines what port the Citrix Vendor Daemon is listening on by first contacting the License Manager Daemon. Therefore, answers A, B, and C are incorrect. Port 80 is the default listening port for the Citrix XML Service.

When a MetaFrame Presentation Server first starts up, it retrieves what kind of license from the license server?

Answer C is correct. The initial license retrieved from a MetaFrame Access Suite License server by a MetaFrame server when it first starts up is called a startup license. These licenses are required to allow the MetaFrame server to check out client licenses and are built into the license server. You do not need to install a startup license. Therefore, Answers A, B, and D are incorrect.

You have four MetaFrame Presentation Servers, all connected to the same license server. The license server has a total count of 160 installed licenses. Unexpectedly, the license server bursts into flames and then explodes in a shower of sparks . Being the calm and cool administrator you are, you know that you have 30 days to rectify the situation. In the meantime, how many total Client Access Licenses will be available for use in the environment until a new license server is brought back online?

Answer D is correct. Each MetaFrame server that was connected to that license server would have a replica of the licenses on the license server. So each server would have noted that there are 160 available licenses (160 x 4 = 640 total Client Access Licenses). Without the existence of a license server, the MetaFrame servers do not perform license pooling on their own, but instead operate in isolation until the license server returns. Answers A, B, and C are incorrect.

Joe User has been configured by his Citrix administrator to be able to connect to a group of published applications that are divided between the Customer Service, Sales, and Marketing server farms. Each server farm has been configured to point to its own licensing server.

At one point during the day, Joe is connected to three applications in Customer Service, two applications in Sales, and one application in Marketing. How many Client Access Licenses is he consuming?

Answer A is correct. Because each server farm has its own licensing server, a separate client license is consumed when the client connects to the first application in that farm. Each subsequent connection to an application in a farm for which a license has been issued will simply reuse that same license. An additional license is not required. Therefore, answers B, C, and D are incorrect.

The main management tool for MASL is what?

Answer A is correct. MASL is managed using the web-based application called the License Management Console. Answer B is incorrect because the Management Console for MetaFrame Presentation Server used to be the source for license management in MetaFrame XP, but this has changed with MPS 3.0. There is no such application called the MetaFrame License Manager, so answer C is incorrect. Citrix Licensing is the application that was used back in the days of MetaFrame 1.8 to manage MetaFrame licenses, so answer D is incorrect.

To deploy the web-based management tool for MASL, you must install it _____________________. (Choose the answer that best completes this sentence .)

Answer C best completes the given sentence. If you want to use the License Management Console, it must be installed on the same server as the MASL application itself. Answer A is incorrect because the LMC does not currently support any version of Apache. Answer B is incorrect because the LMC does not require domain membership in order to run, nor does it require running on a MetaFrame server, which means that answer D is also incorrect.

The majority of the processor load generated by the MetaFrame Access Suite License server can be attributed to _______________________.

Answer A is correct. The operation of the LMC on an MASL server typically generates the majority of the server's processor load. Answers B, C, and D are all valid components of the MASL server but do not contribute to the majority of the server's processor load.

The _______ log file is created by default but is not automatically overwritten every time the License Manager Daemon is stopped and restarted.

Answer C is correct. The Usage log file is created by default but is never overwritten. As a consequence, it can grow quite large over time and must be managed by the MetaFrame administrator to ensure drive space is managed appropriately. Although the Debug log file (answer B) is also created by default, every time the License Manager Daemon is restarted, the log is cleared and re-created. Answers A and D both refer to log files that do not exist in MASL; therefore, answers A, B, and D are all incorrect.

Complete the following sentence: Hosting MASL and MetaFrame Presentation Server together on the same machine is a suitable configuration when the environment has fewer than _______ _____________ servers.

Answer B is correct. Citrix recommends that, in an environment with more than 50 MetaFrame servers, the MASL component be installed onto its own dedicated server instead of sharing resources with client sessions on one of the MetaFrame servers. Therefore, answers A, C, and D are incorrect.

To verify the availability of the license server and ensure that licenses can be checked out properly for a given MetaFrame platform edition, you would use the _________ command-line tool.

Answer D is correct. The lmdiag command-line utility is used to test the availability of a license server and ensure that licenses can be checked out properly. Answer A is incorrect because such a tool does not exist. Answer B is incorrect because even though lmstat is a valid tool, it returns information on the current number of licenses that are checked out and available. It does not provide information on whether a new license can be checked out. Answer C is incorrect because lmcheckout is not a valid tool.
