Question 1

An administrator is deploying a new virtual desktop environment onto an existing Nutanix solution.
The virtual desktop environment will consist of these elements:
1000 instant clone call center virtual desktops (supporting 5 business units)
500 full clone developer virtual desktops (supporting 2 business units)
150 applications delivered via AppStacks (supporting 7 business units)
How many storage containers should be created to support these workloads?

Accepted Answer

C

Explanation: Based on the given information, the administrator is deploying 1000 instant clone virtual desktops, 500 full clone virtual desktops, and 150 applications. To support these workloads, the Nutanix solution will need multiple storage containers. According to the Nutanix Certified Professional - End User Computing (NCP-EUC) v6 guide, for VDI workloads, it is recommended to create a separate storage container for each type of desktop (e.g. instant clone, full clone) and another container for AppStacks. It is also recommended to have at least one container for metadata and one container for replicas. Therefore, for this scenario, a total of 3 storage containers should be created: One container for 1000 instant clone virtual desktops One container for 500 full clone virtual desktops One container for 150 applications delivered via AppStacks So the answer is C. 3.

Question 2

Users are being prompted to restart their non-persistent desktops in the middle of the day. which setting in the gold image would cause this to occur?

Accepted Answer

C

Explanation: non-persistent VDI machines are deleted when they are rebooted, logged off, or shut down. Therefore, Windows Update policy should be configured to prevent automatic updates that may trigger a restart on these machines1. https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/microsoft-defender-for-endpoint/onboarding-andservicing-non-persistent-vdi-machines-with/ba-p/1360721

Question 6

During initial testing of a new VD' deployment, users are complaining that they are not seeing the
performance increase that was seen during the POC phase of the project.
The POC deployment was tested on an NX line of nodes with AHV as the hypervisor. After the test,
the customer has decided to move forward with a production deployment using Dell XC nodes with
ESXi as the hypervisor.
Which two actions must be taken. based on the hypervisor and node model change? (Choose two.)

Accepted Answer

A, D

Explanation: one of the possible causes of poor performance in a VDI deployment is power management, which can affect CPU frequency and performance. Therefore, it is recommended to disable any power saving features on the BIOS level, such as C-states and P-states. Another possible cause of poor performance is network configuration, which can affect network throughput and latency. Therefore, it is recommended to update network drivers and firmware on the Dell XC nodes with ESXi23, and ensure that they are compatible with Nutanix software.

Question 7

An administrator is using Citrix Studio to configure policies for their existing CVAD environment on to
a Nutanix Files share. The administrator would like to use Citrix Director to reset user profiles.
How should the user profiles be configured?

Accepted Answer

D

Explanation: This is because this option will allow the administrator to use Citrix Director to reset user profiles on a Nutanix Files share that provides high performance, scalability, and resilience3. Citrix Profile Management is a solution that allows administrators to manage user profiles and settings across different devices and sessions12. Nutanix Files is a software-defined file storage solution that provides high performance and scalability for file data12. Nutanix Files supports all forms of profile management with efficient metadata caching techniques that optimize for faster VDI logon times12. Nutanix Files offers two types of shares: standard shares and distributed shares3. Standard shares are hosted on a single file server, while distributed shares are hosted on multiple file servers for load balancing and high availability3. https://portal.nutanix.com/page/documents/solutions/details?targetId=BP-2079-Citrix-Virtual-Appsand-Desktops:BP-2079-Citrix-Virtual-Apps-and-Desktops

Question 8

An administrator received a report that users are being disconnected from their sessions consistently
after IO minutes. The administrator suspects the gold image is incorrectly configured,
Which action should the administrator take to resolve this issue?

Accepted Answer

B

Explanation: gold image is a term used to describe a template for a virtual machine (VM) that contains a preconfigured operating system and applications1. A gold image can be used to create multiple session hosts that share the same configuration1. However, a gold image needs to be properly prepared before being used as a template123. One of the steps involved in preparing a gold image is to run sysprep on the VM. Sysprep is a tool that removes system-specific data such as computer name, security identifier (SID), and driver cache from Windows23. This allows the VM to be generalized and duplicated without causing conflicts or errors23. One of the options that can be set when running sysprep is CopyProfile. CopyProfile is a setting that determines whether the user profile settings of the built-in administrator account are copied to the default user profile2. The default user profile is used as a template for creating new user profiles on Windows2. If CopyProfile is set to True, then any changes made by the administrator account (such as desktop wallpaper, screen saver, Start menu items, etc.) will be applied to all new user profiles2. Therefore, if users are being disconnected from their sessions consistently after 10 minutes, it could be because the gold image has some incorrect settings in the default user profile that cause session timeout or termination. To resolve this issue, one possible solution is to sysprep the gold image with CopyProfile set to True, and make sure that there are no settings in the administrator account that could affect session stability (such as power saving options or Windows Store applications)2.

Question 9

An administrator wants to deploy 1 ,OOO virtual desktops on Nutanix AOS and wants to leverage a
cloning technology from the company’s chosen virtual desktop broker vendor which is Citrix.
What kind of Nutanix storage efficiency feature should the administrator use for this solution?

Accepted Answer

D

Explanation: one of the possible Nutanix storage efficiency features that the administrator can use for this solution is Deduplication. Deduplication is a technology that eliminates duplicate blocks of data and reduces storage consumption. Deduplication can be enabled on a per-container basis and can provide significant savings for Citrix virtual desktop deployments that use cloning technologies such as Machine Creation Services (MCS) or Provisioning Services (PVS)1.

Question 10

An administrator needs to apply changes via Active Directory Group Policies for an environment
using Office365 in Cache Exchanged mode on VMware Horizon.
Which profile management toolset will provide the most effective solution?

Accepted Answer

A

Explanation: VMware Horizon is a solution that delivers Windows and Linux virtual desktops and published applications to end users from centralized servers. One of the best practices for delivering Microsoft Office 365 in VMware Horizon is to disable Cached Exchange Mode for Outlook3. This can improve performance and reduce storage requirements. There are different profile management toolsets that can be used with Office 365 and VMware Horizon. One of them is Horizon Persona Management4, which is a feature that synchronizes user profiles with a remote repository and provides a personalized desktop experience. Another option is FSLogix Profile Management5, which is a Microsoft solution that enhances Office 365 performance in non-persistent VDI environments by redirecting user profiles to virtual disks. https://techzone.vmware.com/resource/best-practices-delivering-microsoft-office-365-vmwarehorizon

Question 11

Where should an administrator configure AWS, Azure, and Google accounts within Frame?

Accepted Answer

C

Explanation: Frame is a cloud-native desktop-as-a-service platform that delivers virtual apps and desktops from multiple public clouds1. Frame allows administrators to manage various components of their cloud accounts easily from the Frame console1. A cloud account is a logical grouping of resources that are associated with a specific cloud provider (such as AWS, Azure, or Google) and region1. A cloud account can have multiple virtual networks, master images, and instance types that can be used to create and run virtual apps and desktops1. To configure AWS, Azure, and Google accounts within Frame, an administrator needs to go to the Cloud Accounts section of the Frame console1. There, the administrator can add new cloud accounts or edit existing ones by providing the required credentials and settings for each cloud provider12. https://docs.frame.nutanix.com/platform/infrastructure/byo/cloud-accounts/

Question 12

A group of developers are migrating from physical computers to persistent virtual desktops. What is the recommended migration path?

Accepted Answer

C

Explanation: persistent virtual desktops are virtual desktops that retain their state and configuration across sessions. This means that users can customize their virtual desktops with their own applications, settings, and data, and have them available every time they log on. Persistent virtual desktops are suitable for users who need a consistent and personalized experience, such as developers. According to Nutanix best practices2, one of the recommended migration paths for persistent virtual desktops is to convert the physical computers to virtual desktops. This can be done by using a tool such as VMware Converter or Microsoft Disk2vhd to create a virtual disk image of the physical computer’s hard drive. Then, this image can be imported into Nutanix Cloud Platform and used as a base image for creating persistent virtual desktops. This migration path can preserve the existing applications, settings, and data of the physical computers and minimize the disruption for the users.

Question 13

An administrator has been given a new support role for a group of 1000 users, which are all running
Windows 10 Linked Clone virtual desktops,
The administrator learns quickly that the environment has been undersized with constant complaints
from the user community around running out of storage. The administrator further discovers that the
environment is memory constrained.
Which feature should the administrator enable to help relieve the capacity issue?

Accepted Answer

D

Explanation: Deduplication is a process that eliminates duplicate data blocks and reduces the amount of storage space required for virtual desktops. Deduplication can be enabled at both cluster level and container level on Nutanix. Deduplication can also work with VCAI (View Composer Array Integration), which is a feature that uses Nutanix native NFS snapshot technology to clone VMs2. VCAI can improve performance and reduce storage consumption for linked-clone desktop pools. Another feature that can help with capacity issue is Shadow Clones, which is a distributed caching mechanism that allows multiple VMs to read from a single vDisk copy stored locally on each node3. Shadow Clones can reduce network traffic and improve boot times for virtual desktops. https://www.nutanix.com/support-services/training-certification/certifications/certification-detailsnutanix-certified-professional-ncp-euc-v6

Question 14

A new client has just deployed a new Frame account, During the testing phase, the security team
found that they had bidirectional clipboard, capabilities, the ability to transfer files, and connectivity
to unauthorized external storage devices.
What should the administrator do to secure the environment, based on the security team's
feedback?

Accepted Answer

C

Explanation: According to the certification details1, one of the objectives is to “Configure and manage security features such as role-based access control (RBAC), SSL certificates, encryption at rest, and data protection.” This answer seems to align with the security team’s feedback and the objective of managing security features using Nutanix technologies.

Question 15

An administrator has finished setting up a Frame environment and has to finish preparing the
Sandbox image. During the publishing andtesting phase, the administrator notices issue with the
Sysprep process.
Which tool can the administrator use to prepare the Sysprep of the sandbox with error parsing?

Accepted Answer

A

Explanation: Sysprep is a Microsoft tool that prepares a Windows installation for cloning, auditing, and customer delivery23. The Frame Sysprep Helper Tool is designed to simplify the Microsoft Sysprep process by parsing errors reported by sysprep and immediately repairing them when possible1. Therefore, the tool that the administrator can use to prepare the Sysprep of the sandbox with error parsing is A (Frame Sysprep Helper Tool).
