IMO,
Citrix exams are not extremely hard as you just mentioned. I think the
hardest part about the citrix envrionment, ( Since I had worked only in MF
1.8, I will only comment on that) is getting support from vendors on
applications in Citrix or getting the application working itself. If you
start to master Scripting, Remon and Filemon, usually you can solve about
90% of these problems, the other 10% migth be those problems that will never
be figured out.
Although I can see why they probably loaded up on the load manager
questions, which you gotta have XPA to get load manager, and I believe XPE
for Installation Manager and Resource manager.
Hopefully once I get the $$ to build my new Citrix XP Farm I will be able to
finish up my CCEA ( MF 1.8 and CCA in XP)and get more up to speed on this
stuff.
But for right now, its Active Directory time....

Subject: [THIN] some post CCA Exam questions/observations
Took CCA for MF XP 1.0 yesterday, passed with a 72 which was minimum
passing. Not bad considering the 2 days of studying I put in and only
reading the MF manual. Having access to a single MF server really didn't
help much, especially since I only have XPs. If I had Load Manager that
would have been beneficial. 70% of the questions I saw on the exam were
identical off practice test I've found. A person who has never touched
citrix could have found or purchased practice tests and passed CCA exam IMO.
I read the MF XPs 1.0 manual and not XPa/XPe which effected me in some of
the questions relating to installation manager and load manager. I did not
think these would be covered muched and I lucked out as there was about 5
questions total.
I got a printed paper saying I've passed. At the bottom it mentions
reporting scores and for a "CSN or CALC agreement or technical support
contract" to fax a particular number. What is this about? Am I entitled to
free technical support or something else for passing CCA? No one at the
Prometric test center told me anything. Also, am Isupposed to get some
official certificate from Citrix automatically, or do I have to call, or do
they send nothing?
Lastly, a few questions I hadn't come across in the MF XPs 1.0 manual that I
was curious to the answers were:
1) You want to implement NFuse ticketing, hwo do you ensure it's working
properly.
Answerings related to using one of two different NFuse wizards or something
about the XML service
2) What platforms can Installation Manager 2.0 be installed on?
3) How does the Netscape browser re-act when it encounters an ICA link and
does not have the plug-in installed?
Anwers involved auto d/ling or not, manual install
4) What is the default load accumulator
