D is wrong also - If the VDA doesn't communicate with the Database, only the DDC's do. B,C,E B - Unfiltered policies apply across the board (priority matters here) C - If the filter excludes the machine, the policies won't apply E - GPO's apply after the Citrix policies apply (higher priority; last writer wins) https://docs.citrix.com/en-us/citrix-virtual-apps-desktops/policies/policies-processes.html

Correct answers are: ACE "A" is correct - VDA is not registered with the site the policy was configured but can be registered with another site and HDX session is doable "B" is not correct there are no any unfiltered policy "default settings" so they cannot override anything "C" is correct wrong policy filter - this is obvious "D" is wrong VDA does not contact SQL DB "E" is correct conflicting GPO takes precedence over Studio policies

Selected Answer: ACE

The "Unfiltered" policy is empty in the default state and therefore will NOT overwrite anything. Only DDCs communicate with the site database. Therefore, B and D are not valid.

Selected Answer: ACE

ACE: A - If the policy is configured for VDAs in site A, but this VDA is in Site B. C - If the filter does not include this VDA E - If the settings is one that can bedictated both by GPO and Citrix policy, the GPO settings will win. B - The unfiltered policy has no settings by default, so it will not make a conflict. D - The VDA communicates with the DDC and not the Site database.

However, if a conflict occurs, policy settings that are processed last can overwrite those that are processed earlier. This means that policy settings take precedence in the following order: Organizational Units Domain-level GPOs Site-level GPOs XenApp or XenDesktop Site GPO (stored in the Site database) Local GPO
