 EXAM PREPARATION GUIDE | XenApp 5 Feature Pack 2

3.6 New The following are some of the new features in XenApp 5 Feature 2:
Features in
XenApp 5
• Power and Capacity Management helps reduce power
Feature Pack 2
consumption as well as improve management of XenApp server
capacity by dynamically scaling up or scaling down the number of
online XenApp servers. Consolidating sessions onto fewer online
servers improves server utilization, while providing sufficient
capacity to handle load and minimizing unnecessary power
consumption.
• VM hosted apps isolate applications by publishing each
application on an individual server and hosting them from virtual
machines or physical computers running Windows single-user
desktop operating systems. Users access these applications just as
they would applications hosted from XenApp servers.
• HDX MediaStream for Flash supports Adobe Flash Player 10,
and enables Adobe Flash content to play locally on the user
device. With this feature, user devices with Adobe Flash Player 10
experience a high definition playback. Additionally, using local
Flash Players reduces the strain on server and network resources.
• HDX plug-n-play for USB storage devices enables users to
interact with USB mass storage devices connected to their user
devices when connected to a XenApp session. With this feature
enabled, users can connect or disconnect a USB device from a
session at any time, regardless of whether the session was started
before or after the drive connection.
• Receiver for Windows is the recommended client-side solution
for delivering and updating Citrix plug-ins on user devices. The
Merchandising Server provides the administrative interface for
configuring, delivering, and upgrading plug-ins for your users'
computers. The Merchandising Server and Receiver work together
to streamline the installation and management of application
delivery to the user desktops.

Pack 2, please visit Citrix eDocs at

4 Exam Sections and Weights

4.1 The Citrix XenApp 5 on Windows Server 2003: Administration exam

Introduction (1Y0-A23) is divided into ten (10) sections and is based on XenApp 5
Feature Pack 2. Each section of the exam is weighted as follows, totaling
100%.

4.2 Section
Titles and Section Weight
Weights Installing and Managing XenApp 8%
Configuring Farm Settings 15%
Configuring XenApp Sessions 15%
Configuring Policies 14%
Publishing Applications and Content 11%
Troubleshooting 3%
Creating and Assigning Load Evaluators 4%
Configuring Printing 17%
Enabling Web Access to Published 9%
Applications and Content
Securing Access to Published Applications and 4%
Content
Total 100%

4.3 How Section Section weights correlate directly to the number of questions on the exam.
Weights Relate For example, if an exam has 60 questions, and section 1 is weighted as
to Questions on 50%, then 30 of the questions on the exam will relate to section 1
the Exam (60*50% = 30).

Section weights are NOT used to calculate an exam-taker’s score. Section

weights are meant to indicate the percentage of the exam that covers
certain content. Because some questions may have different point values
assigned to them, section weights and exam scores do not always have a
one to one correlation.

6 Interactive Item Usage

6.1 The Citrix XenApp 5 for Windows Server 2003: Administration exam
Introduction consists primarily of traditional multiple-choice items. This exam also
includes Drag and Drop items. These types of items allow for exam-takers
to answer questions by interacting with the interface by dragging objects to
predefined destinations.

6.2 Description Drag and drop items instruct exam-takers to drag objects to pre-defined
of Drag and destinations. These types of items are usually used to test an exam-taker’s
Drop items understanding of a process, order, or other regimented ordered concept.

In these items, predefined destinations are marked by rectangular objects

called destination panels. Destination panels indicate where objects can be
placed in the user interface. These panels contain instructions, such as
“Place Here” or “Place First Here” (as shown in Figures 6.1 and 6.2) or
similar text that alerts exam-takers that this is a panel onto which an object
should be dragged. Objects that can be moved are marked by an action
word or sentence.

As with the other non-traditional items, exam-takers must click the “Done”
button within the task window when finished in order to record their
answer(s) and move on to the next item.

6.3 Specialized While dragging these objects, exam-takers should pay careful attention to
cursors in Drag the cursor. Figures 6.1 and 6.2 depict the two cursors exam-takers will see
and Drop items while completing a Drag and Drop item in this exam.
