The correct answer is D. Machine Creation Services. Machine Creation Services (MCS) directly references storage resource names when provisioning and managing virtual machines, so a rename of storage resources will break or require reconfiguration of MCS.

Question

Scenario: A Citrix Administrator manages a XenDesktop environment with 2000 Desktop OS machines. The storage administrator has informed the Citrix Administrator that the name of the storage resources will be changing to meet the requirements of a naming scheme required by management. Which component of the XenDesktop environment will be impacted by the storage resource name change?

Options

  • ACitrix Director
  • BVirtual Delivery Agent
  • CProvisioning Services
  • DMachine Creation Services

Why each option

Machine Creation Services (MCS) directly references storage resource names when provisioning and managing virtual machines, so a rename of storage resources will break or require reconfiguration of MCS.

ACitrix Director

Citrix Director is a monitoring and management console that does not hold direct references to underlying storage resource names.

BVirtual Delivery Agent

The Virtual Delivery Agent is software installed on each desktop OS machine and operates independently of storage resource naming conventions.

CProvisioning Services

Provisioning Services uses network-based streaming from a vDisk store and does not reference the same storage resource constructs that MCS uses.

DMachine Creation ServicesCorrect

MCS stores explicit references to the storage resource names used during catalog creation and ongoing provisioning operations. When the storage administrator renames those resources, MCS can no longer locate them by the previously configured name, requiring the administrator to update the MCS catalog configuration to reflect the new storage resource names.
