Question 15

What are two valid options to manage antivirus definition updates in a Citrix App Layering
deployment? (Choose two.)

  • A. Enable auto-updates and store updates in the Elastic Layer assigned to each user.
  • B. Disable auto-updates and redeploy the layer for each update on a schedule approved by the security team.
  • C. Enable auto-updates and store updates in the user’s User Layer.
  • D. Disable auto-updates and clear the checkbox for "Reinstall the layer" when redeploying the layers.
Mark Question:
Answer:

B, C


Explanation:
Explanation:
Turn on auto updates, and let the updates get stored in the user's Personalization Layer. If auto
updates happen daily, this might be the most convenient approach. Note that whenever there is a
major product update, you'll need to reinstall on the UEP by redeploying the layer to the desktop
with the Reinstall the layer checkbox selected.
Turn off auto updates, and redeploy the layer for each update. This requires updating the layer
whenever you want to push out new updates.
