Citrix 1Y0-312 Exam - Topic 5 Question 121 Discussion

Posted by Georgiann on Jan 26, 2026 at 01:04 AM

Scenario: A Citrix Engineer is maintaining a Citrix Virtual Apps and Desktops environment. The engineer recently deployed Citrix App Layering for improved image management with Machine Creation Services (MCS). The infrastructure requires various 32-bit and 64-bit operating system platforms.

Which three considerations does the engineer need to be aware of when creating various OS Layers for the company infrastructure? (Choose three.)

Suggested Answer: E, A, C

Platform and Application Layers are tied to the OS Layer

Before a version or layer can be deleted, it must not be in use by a template

Have one Operating System layer per Operating System (Windows 7 32-bit, Windows 7 64-bit, etc.)
