  1. its the same as 107. It is def. B
    its not best practise to place qrite cache on DFSR because of performance degradation.

  2. My Cents to this Scenario:

    many Option in theory , but what likes Citrix to hear? The Option “Cache on server persistent” indicates that a persitent Cache is wanted. If i choose B i do remove the Cache from the Server to the Client but it is not persitent anymore.

    So may be not wanted.

    My choic is also is DFSR this is supported. Namespace Placement not! It is doing the Job and keeps the files for the Clients persistent. (ist not written that persistence is mandatory but thats the Scenario)

    Best choice for me.

  3. I agree A is wrong, but what about B? That also ensures that users are NOT interrupted if a Provisioning Services server fails.

    1. B: Bob Exactly since the question states (HA) ON THE Provisioning SERVICES servers means youre not touching a DB, sure you could install the DB on the same server but that not what they’re looking for.
