NOTE: Normally whenever we install the device on the OS, we use the Change user /Install and after finishing the installation task we need to execute from the mode to use change user /execute. 7. What is Local Host Cache (LHC) and what is the purpose of A: The Local Host Cache is the name of the Microsoft Access Database that is created locally on every MPS server and that stores portions of the Data Store to keep the server functioning in the event of an outage. If the Data Store goes off line, the server continuous to function normally using the LHC database for up to 48 hours. It ensures that pertinent data is accessible locally even of the data store database is unavailable. 8. Which types of persistent data are contained in the Presentation Server Farm Data Store? A: Printer Drivers and mappings Published Applications configurations Presentation Server Administrator Accounts 9. What is the purpose of the Data Store and What is contained in the Data Store database? A: The Data Store is a database that stores all the configuration information needed by the Citrix Farm. Any time you make configuration changes to MetaFrame Server, the changes are recorded in the Data Store. In this respect, if you are adding a new MetaFrame Server to spread the user load of an application, this new server can get all the information by tapping into the Data Store. The information stored in the Data Store includes : Published Application, Server Configuration, User Configuration and Print Environment. This thus means all persistent data for all servers in a particular farm. 10. Purpose of the Data Collector A: Data Collector is nothing but it keeps the information about the published application, users session, Zones etc. 11. Purpose of Zones. A: Zone is subset of Farm and is designed so that we could use Farm as a unit. Zone has server members and one of them is ZDC (Zone Data Collectors) in each zone. These ZDCs communicate between zones. Zones are very helpful in controlling traffic. 12. Moving servers to other zone 13. Which component manages the servers running Presentation by integrating with thirdparty management consoles such as HP Open View? A: Network Manager Explanation : Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) is known and widely used by various organizations for the purposes of monitoring their systems. Companies can use thirdparty tools such Microsoft Operations Management (MOM), HP Open View, or various other tools to monitor and manage their servers. In addition, if you are using Enterprise Edition of MetaFrame, you can use Citrix Network Manager as an SNMP agent to gather farmwide performance monitoring and management information. 14. What are two technical considerations for deciding to create more than one farm in a Presentation Server environment?

A: The Geographical Location of the servers and The type of network connection between the servers. 15. An administrator must consider which three factors when deciding which type of database to use in a farm? A: Number of Users Number of Applications Number of servers running Presentation Server 16. Preferences of zone DCs (most, preferred) 17. How to change the ICA port. Change value of TCP/IP port for ICA Terminal Sessions.

The ports for server-to-server communication and CMC ports. IMA : 2512, 2513 20. Licensing issues (server + connection licenses) 21. Load balancing definition and elementary workflow 22. IMA (Independent Management Architecture)service used for what A: The IMA Services checks about the connection between the Citrix Presentation Sever and Citrix Management Console. It has separate Management architecture from the Windows Management architecture. It links with Metaframe COM Server to provide COM Services, so that individual servers can be removed from the Citrix Management Console. 23.

How do you configure a Cisco router TCP/IP stack for optimal citrix traffic? 35. Preferences of zone DCs 36. What are the differences between the Win2k license server and Win2k3? 37. Differences in GPOs between the 2 OSs. I also like to find out how they troubleshoot citrix issues. What sites do they use? 38. After installing the new Citrix Client my Icons are Upside Down. What Gives? A: This problem has been traced back to two possible solutions involving the video drivers. The following seemed to have resolved the problem. First in Win9.x clients (where this has been a frequent issue)try decreasing the graphics acceleration setting in Control Panel\System\Performance. If this does not work try to obtain the latest video drivers from the cards manufacturer for the graphics adapter and installing them. 39. How do I disable floppy drive access during a Citrix Session Logon? A: Run regedt32.exe Edit the key listed below: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\WindowsNT\CurrentVersion\Winlogin\Parse Autoexec REG_SZ=1 Change the value from 1 to 0 Ensure that the Windows Explorer view is set to a view different than Details 40. I have a program that will only work if it is install mode any ideas? A: Try adding the directory the program is in to the default path by going into the system control panel applet and adding it under the environment variables. Or copy out the ini and dll file of the program out to each users windows/system32 folder in their home directory. Some programs have a temp variable in their ini files. You may need to edit the location of the temp variable to point to the users home temp directory instead of the NT/Temp directory location. This should resolve the problem.

41. How do I Disable Print Drivers from Automatically Updating the DataStore? A: When a new printer or printer driver was installed on a MetaFrame server, a substantial amount of traffic (in the order of 8 to 10MB per second) occurred between the IMA Service and the data store the IMA Service was using. This occurred because the IMA Service needed to update the Management Console for MetaFrame XP with the information about the new printer or printer driver, which caused the huge amount of network traffic. To resolve this problem, navigate to the following registry key and change the value of fDisablePrinterWorkerThread to 1: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Citrix\IMAPrinter Type: REG_DWORD Value: fDisablePrinterWorkerThread = 1 After you make this change to the registry, restart the IMA Service for the change to take effect. NOTE: When the registry switch is set to 1, the IMA Service does not automatically update printer or printer driver information to the Management Console. You need to update this information manually. To do this, click Printer Management in the left panel of the Management Console and then double-click Update Printer and Driver. This setting is valid with: (or their equivalents) MetaFrame XP Feature Release 3 for Windows 2000 and hotfix XE103W2K057 MetaFrame XP Service Pack 2 for TSE 4.0 and hotfix XE102T024. Both MetaFrame XP Feature Release 3 for Windows 2000 & MetaFrame Presentation Server 3.0 for Windows 2000 and 2003 contain the code need for the registry change. Ensure the latest MfPrintSs.dll is installed on the server. NOTE: If youre interviewing, you want somebody who has a good solid overall understanding of Citrix and how it fits into the organization etc. So as well as those questions, Id be asking them how they would bring new sites online. Id want them to know how web interface and CSG work and to tell me the process when users connect using these products to launch their apps. I would tell them about your setup and ask them how you could improve it. Also you will want to know what they know about Terminal Services. Im amazed at how many questions here get asked about the TS license server. Most seem to not even know it needs to be loaded. 42. How do I remove a dead server from the Citrix Management Console? A: Run DSVERIFY SERVERS /CLEAN /FORCE to optimize the Data Store. DSVerify can be run rom any server in the farm. Dsverify is available here. Metaframe Feature Release 3 has a new command line tool called DSCHECK works in a similar way: DSCHECK /CLEAN

43. What is relay Program Neighborhood The user interface for the Program Neighborhood Client that lets users view the published applications they are authorized to use in the server farm. Program Neighborhood allows access to application sets and custom ICA connections. 44. What is relay Program Neighborhood Agent The Program Neighborhood Agent allows you to deliver published applications directly to users desktops so users can access links to published applications with or without a Web browser. With the Program Neighborhood Agent, links to published applications appear in the Start menu, on the Windows desktop, or in the Windows notification area. Remote applications are integrated into the desktop and appear to the user as local applications. You must use the Web Interface for MetaFrame Presentation Server to use the Program Neighborhood Agent. 45. What is relay published application An application installed on a server or server farm that is configured for multiuser access from MetaFrame Presentation Server Clients. With Load Manager, you can manage the load for published applications among servers in the farm. With Program Neighborhood and the Web Interface, you can push a published application to your users client desktops. 46 What is relay listening port ? The TCP port on a computer running MetaFrame Presentation Server that the Citrix SSL Relay monitors for data from a Web server. What is seamless window One of the settings you can specify for the window size property of a published application. If a published application runs in a seamless window, the user can take advantage of all the client platforms window management features, such as resizing, minimizing, and so forth. 47 What is Secure Sockets Layer (SSL)/Transport Layer Security (TLS) A standards-based architecture for encryption, authentication, and message integrity. It is used to secure the communications between two computers across a public network, authenticate the two computers to each other based on a separate trusted authority, and ensure that the communications are not tampered with. SSL/ TLS supports a wide range of ciphersuites. 48 What is server A server on which MetaFrame Presentation Server software is running. You can publish applications, content, and desktops for remote access by clients on these servers. What is server farm A group of computers running MetaFrame Presentation Server and managed as a single entity, with some form of physical connection between servers and a database used for the farms data store. 49. What is session ID A unique identifier for a specific client session on a specific computer running MetaFrame Presentation Server. 50 What is Independent Management Architecture (IMA) Citrixs server-to-server infrastructure

that provides robust, secure, and scalable tools for managing any size server farm. Among other features, IMA enables centralized platform-independent management, an ODBC-compliant data store, and a suite of management products that plug in to Presentation Server Console. 51. What is Citrix XML Service A Windows service that provides an HTTP interface to the ICA browser. It uses TCP packets instead of UDP, which allows connections to work across most firewalls. The default port for the Citrix XML Service is 80. 52. What is shadowing A feature that enables an authorized user to remotely join or take control of another users client session for diagnosis, training, or technical support. What is SpeedScreen Latency Reduction A combination of technologies implemented in ICA that decreases bandwidth consumption and total packets transmitted, resulting in reduced latency and consistent performance regardless of network connection. 53. What is universal printing When you use universal printing you do not need to install and duplicate a potentially large set of native printer drivers in your server farm. The universal printer drivers can replace multiple native printer drivers that would otherwise be needed in diverse printing environments. MetaFrame Presentation Server Clients can work with universal drivers depending on the client devices version and platform. 54. What is Windows-Based Terminal (WBT) A fixed-function thin-client device that can run applications only by connecting to a server. WBTs cannot run applications locally. 55. What is zone A logical grouping of computers running MetaFrame Presentation Server, typically related to the underlying network subnets. All servers in a zone communicate with the server designated as the data collector for the zone. 56. What is zone data collector A computer that stores dynamic data for one zone in a farm. Examples of dynamic data include current server load, the number of current user sessions, and the applications currently running in user sessions on a specified server. 57. What is local host cache A local subset of the server farm data store information. This file is present on all computers running MetaFrame Presentation Server. See also data store. ICA file A text file (with the extension ica) containing information about a published application. ICA files are written in Windows ini file format and organize published application information in a standard way that MetaFrame Presentation Server Clients can interpret. When a client receives an ICA file, it

initializes a session running the application on the server specified in the file. ICA protocol The protocol that MetaFrame Presentation Server Clients use to format user input (keystrokes, mouse clicks, and so forth) and address it to servers for processing. Servers use the ICA protocol to format application output (display, audio, and so forth) and return it to the client device. 1. What is the requirement for Citrix server installation? Answer :- http://support.citrix.com/proddocs/topic/xenapp6-w2k8/ps-system-requirementsw2k8-xa6.html 2. What is Datastore? Answer :- This is the place where all the static information are stored. The data store provides a repository of persistent information about the farm (Farm configuration information, Published Application configurations, Server configurations, Static policy configuration, XenApp administrator accounts, and Printer configurations) that all servers can refer. The data store is the central repository where almost the entire Citrix implementation is invested. The Administrators of the farm, the license server to point to, the whole farm configuration, the published applications, all their properties, the security of who gets access to what, the custom load evaluators, custom policies, configured printers and print drivers, all this is stored in the central repository called the data store. 3. What is Data Collector? Answer:- Data Collector stores all the dynamic information like session, load and published applications in the servers in their zones and communicates the zone information to the Data Collectors in other zones in the farm Data collector is a Citrix Presentation Server whose IMA service takes on the additional role of tracking all of the dynamic information of other Presentation Servers. This information is stored in memory and called the dynamic store. The data store is a database on disk. The dynamic store is information stored in memory. To look the contents of the in-memory dynamic store on the data collector, use queryds command. QueryDS can be found in the support\debug folder of your Presentation Server installation source files. To determine which server is acting as the data collector in the zone run query farm /zone from the command line

4. What is LHC? Answer :- The IMA service running on each Presentation Server downloads the information it needs from the central data store into a local MDB database called the local host cache, or LHC. (The location of the local host cache is specified via a DSN referenced in the registry of the Presentation Server, at HKLM\SOFTWARE\Citrix\IMA\LHCDatasource\DataSourceName. By default this is a file called Imalhc.dsn and is stored in the same place as MF20.dsn.) Each Presentation Server is smart enough to only download information from the data store

that is relevant to it, meaning that the local host cache is unique for every server. Citrix created the local host cache for two reasons: 1. Permits a server to function in the absence of datastore connectivity. 2. Improves performance by caching information used by ICA Clients for enumeration and application resolution. The LHC is an Access database (Imalhc.mdb) stored default in the path <ProgramFiles>\Citrix\Independent Management Architecture folder. LHC contained the following information: 1. All servers in the farm, and their basic information. 2. All applications published within the farm and their properties. 3. All Windows network domain trust relationships within the farm. 4. All information specific to itself. (product code, SNMP settings, licensing information) The LHC is critical in a CPS environment. In fact, its the exclusive interface of the data store to the local server. The local servers IMA service only interacts with the LHC. It never contacts the central data store except when its updating the LHC. If the server loses its connection to the central data store, theres no limit to how long it will continue to function. (In MetaFrame XP, this is limited to 48 or 96 hours, but that was because the data store also store license information.) But today, the server can run forever from the LHC and wont even skip a beat if the central connection is lost. In fact now you can even reboot the server when the central data store is down, and the IMA service will start from the LHC with out any problem. (Older versions of MetaFrame required a registry modification to start the IMA service from the LHC.) The LHC file is always in use when IMA is running, so its not possible to delete it or anything. In theory its possible that this file could become corrupted, and if this happens I guess all sorts of weird things could happen to your server. If you think this is the case in your environment, you can stop the IMA service and run the command dsmaint recreatelhc to recreate the local host cache file, although honestly I dont think this fixes anything very often. Local Host Cache is synchronised with the Data Store by the Zone Data Collector for every 30 minutes and it can also be configured through registry 5. What is Client Lock Down? Answer :- Typically client lockdown is the process of securing an endpoint so that the user can only access authorised features. An example of this would be turning the device into a Thin Client by locking it down so that an end user can only connect to published apps or desktops and can not use other features. 6. What is Printer terminology in Citrix? Answer:- Citrix Printing can be configured 3 ways (types) 1.Local Printing. 2.Network Printing 3.Client Printing Client Printer: The printer connecyted to the Worksation & the drivers are installed on the citrix server for printing.

Network Printer: The Printer connected to the print server & the drivers should be available on the citrix server. Local Printer: The prinetr connected to locally to the citrix server & the driers are installed for the print operation.

7. How to use datastore for database? 8. What is the difference between all citrix versions? Answer:- Citrix Meta frame Presentation server and Xenapp are the different name of the same product updates, Meta frame and Presentation Servers are older versions and Xenapp are the Newer Versions. Both are uses for Virtualization of Applications, Contents & Server desktop. Some features in Xenapp are not available in Presentation servers like V-Disk in Xenapp6.5, 9. What are different load evaluators are available in Citrix Answer:- Different Types of Citrix Load Evaluators 1)CPU Utilization 2)Memory Utilization 3)Page Swap 4)Application User Load 5)Context Switches 6)Disk Data I/O 7)Disk Operations 8)IP Range 9)Page Faults 10)Scheduling 11)Server User Load 10. How to implement Policies in Citrix? Answer:- The Citrix policy can be applied through Console Managment in 3 levels 1. Farm Level 2. Citrix Server Level 3. Policy.

11. What you will check when any user is not able to launch citrix application? Answer:- Verify that latest Citrix client software installed at desktop Verify that user is having correct proxy settings to connect to your Citrix network (for remote users)

try to launch same application from Citrix server(on which you installed and published) Try to add same application to your ID and try to launch Check user permissions for that Applications

12. What is IMA? Answer:- Its a collection of subsystems (dll) that communicate each other and provides services/functions to the presentation server. It works on the port 2512 and 2513. The port 2512 is used for communication between servers and the port 2513 is used for communication with CMC. 13. What is ICAand what is the advantage of ICA? Answer:- ICA Independent Computing Architechture It provides better compression Transmits High-level windows display information 14. What is Speed Screen? Answer:The term SpeedScreen is confusing with regards to Citrix because it actually includes five different technologies that have been created over the last several years. It is easy to get things mixed up, especially since some of the technologies do similar things. This list of five variants is:

SpeedScreen Latency Reduction SpeedScreen Browser Acceleration SpeedScreen Multimedia Acceleration SpeedScreen Flash Acceleration SpeedScreen Image Acceleration

15. What is the query command in Citrix? Answer:1)qfarm 2)querydc 3)queryds 4)queryhr 16. What are the different ports used in Citrix? Here is the PDF attached that contains all the Port details Click Here to download

17. How the licensing works in Citrix and difference in Citrix Licensing version wise? Answer:1) First there would be product licences such as Standard/Advanced/Enterprise/Platinum edition. 2) Then you have to purchase the concurrent licences depending on the no of users this can be downloaded from the website .LIC file depending on the hostname of the server which is case sensitive Standard License For single Server Advanced Supports Network Load Balancing Enterprise For large Infrastructure provides WMI, Load Manager or Resource Manager Platinum Features like Access Gateway and password manager is enabled, edge site server, etc For citrix you would require : 1. Microsoft OS license for the server. 2. Terminal Server License (cals) 3. Citrix Server License.

18. What are the consoles available to manage Citrix server? Answer:Citrix Management Console Access Suite 19. What is Web Interface or Nfuse? Answer:- Citrix Web Interface software (previously known as NFuse) provides Web access to Java, UNIX, and Windows applications that are hosted via Citrix application server software. While Citrixoffers server-side control of hosted applications, Citrix Web Interface makes applications accessible through a Web browser interface

20. What is citrix secure / access gateway and how its work? Answer:Citrix Access Gateway is a secure application access solution that provides administrators granular application-level policy and action controls to secure access to applications and data while allowing users to work from anywhere. It gives IT administrators a single point of control and tools to help ensure compliance with regulations and the highest levels of information security across and outside the enterprise. At the same time, it empowers users with a single point of accessoptimized for roles, devices, and networksto the enterprise

applications and data they need. This unique combination of capabilities helps maximize the productivity of todays mobile workforce. 21. What are the differences between Win2K and 2K3 Terminal server? Answer:- Windows 2000 Terminal Services can be installed in 2 mode, as you say: 1) Remote Administration mode Not really a terminal server. You can connect with a maximum of 2 sessions simultaneously, by default only for Administrators. This mode is very handy for accessing a server (any server!) remotely. So this mode is very often installed on SQL servers, Exchange Servers, etc. Every server that is more than 2 steps away from you, like in a dedicated server room. This mode does not require additional licensing, and does not support multiple users running applications on the server. 2) Application Server mode This is the real terminal server mode, i.e. your terminal server is now configured to handle multiple users, which run applications in a session on the terminal server. This mode requires a Terminal Services Licensing Server and additional licensing for all connecting users (TS CALs). Note that the terminology has changed a bit in Windows 2003: Remote Administration mode is now called Remote Desktop for Administration. It doesnt have to be installed anymore, it comes pre-installed and only has to be enabled, just like on XP. Installing the Terminal Services component of the OS in 2003 implies Application Server mode. This mode is now simply called Terminal Services 22. What is the difference between 2k & 2k3 terminal server licensing? Windows 2000 TS CAL License Types per-device Windows 2003 per-device or per-user

alternate per-server external user license option

Internet Connector License, External Connector $10k, 200 users max, anonymous License, $8k, normal only users

23. What is Printer driver replication and mapping? Printer driver replication means if you have a network printer and if you want to share it among other Citrix servers, then we can replicate that driver to be used by all the Citrix servers or for few selected Citrix servers, however that driver should be installed in the Citrix server from which we are replicating the driver.

Printer mapping relates to mapping the driver software for specific domain users only, these can be dont by right clicking on the driver or by the printer option on the left plane of Citrix presentation server console.
