In a healthcare environment users log on to and log off from sessions which have applications published from XenApp several times throughout the day. Which feature could a Citrix Engineer use to…

Auto-launch automatically starts a published application at StoreFront logon but does not keep a session alive between disconnects or improve reconnection speed.

Session lingering prevents the ICA session from terminating immediately when the last application is closed, maintaining the session in a ready state on the server. When healthcare users reconnect shortly after closing applications, they reuse the existing live session rather than initializing a new one, dramatically reducing reconnection time. This is ideal for environments where users repeatedly open and close sessions throughout the day.

Connection leasing caches connection data locally to allow users to launch applications when the Delivery Controller is temporarily unreachable, which does not address session reconnection performance.

Session pre-launch initializes an ICA session before the user actually requests an application to reduce initial launch time, but does not keep an existing session alive for subsequent reconnections.
