An Citrix administrator was just told that several new employees will be joining the helpdesk support
department. How can the Citrix administrator ensure that the new employees have a desktop?
A.
Add machines to the existing catalog
B.
Create a new catalog for the new employees
C.
Add more desktops to the existing desktop group
D.
Create a new desktop group for the new employees
Why not A ?
You can only add more desktops to a delivery group if they are available in the catalog. To be sure they are available, you need to add them to the catalog ?

I woudl choose A. Desktop group is a term from XenApp 6 and earlier versions.

Adding machines to the existing Machine Catalog does not mean they are also going to be assigned and ready for use. For that to happen, you will have to assign them to the Helpdesk Delivery Group by using the Add machine function.
Desktop group (or delivery group – C) would make more sense since you want those new machines to be available ASAP. HOWEVER, you cannot add any new machines to a Delivery Group without adding them first to a Machine Catalog…
In our case we would need both A and C.
B and D could also work if you want to go down that route, but since these users are part of the same department it wouldn’t make sense – unless you want to have a training DG for new employees to practice…
