Which option lists a valid resource location composition for a Citrix Virtual Apps and Desktops service deployment?

• A. Citrix ADC, Virtual Delivery Agent (VDA), Active Directory Domain, Hypervisor
• B. Citrix ADC, StoreFront, Citrix Director, Citrix Provisioning
• C. Citrix ADC, Delivery Controller, Virtual Delivery Agent (VDA), Active Directory Domain
• D. Citrix ADC, VDA, StoreFront, Database

Answer: (A)

In a Citrix Virtual Apps and Desktops service deployment, the resource location is where the actual desktops and apps run and where the delivery stack connects to your directory and network. A valid resource location includes four pieces: a hypervisor to host the virtual machines, the Virtual Delivery Agent installed on those machines so they can run and present desktops and apps, an Active Directory Domain to handle authentication and user/group management, and Citrix ADC to provide external access and efficient load balancing to the workload resources. Together, these elements enable the VDAs to run, be managed within the domain, and be reachable by users through a stable, scalable edge service. Components like StoreFront, Citrix Director, or Provisioning Services belong to older on‑premises architectures or are management/monitoring tools, not required as part of the resource location for the service deployment. Delivery Controllers and a separate database are typically managed by Citrix Cloud in this model, so they aren’t needed as part of the resource location composition.
