Scenario: A Citrix Engineer set Desktop Composition Redirection to 'Enabled' in a policy within Citrix Studio and filtered the policy by virtual desktops. Desktop Composition Redirection is set to 'Disabled' in a group policy object (GPO) applied to the organizational unit (OU) containing all virtual desktops. What will be the resultant effect of these two policies on the virtual desktops they are applied to?

Question

Accepted Answer

B. The policy assigned to the OU will take precedence and Desktop Composition Redirection will be Active Directory Group Policy Objects applied to an OU are processed through the standard Windows Group Policy engine and take precedence over conflicting Citrix Studio policies for the same setting. Because the GPO sets Desktop Composition Redirection to Disabled and is applied directly to the OU containing the virtual desktops, that setting wins over the Enabled value configured in Citrix Studio.

Answer

A. The two policies will cancel each other out, leaving the desktops with the default settings. Conflicting policies do not cancel each other out - one always takes precedence based on the defined policy processing order.

Answer

C. The Unfiltered policy will take precedence over the conflicting policies, leaving the desktops with The Unfiltered policy is a default Citrix policy that applies when no other policy matches; it does not override explicitly configured conflicting policies.

Answer

D. The policy assigned in Citrix Studio will apply as it takes precedence over OU policies and Citrix Studio policies do not take precedence over Windows GPO policies applied via Active Directory OU; the GPO hierarchy governs when both apply to the same setting.
