CCA Citrix Certified Administrator for MetaFrame 1.8 Study Guide (Exam 218)

By Malin Bertram

The Independent Computing Architecture (ICA) from Citrix Systems lets system administrators give users a way to access practically any Windows application over even the slowest network links. CCA: Citrix Certified Administrator for MetaFrame 1.8 Study Guide helps solidify your knowledge of Citrix technologies as you prepare for the Citrix Certified Administrator (CCA) exam (218). With lots of practice questions and carefully annotated answer keys, plus an exam simulator on CD-ROM, this book will help you fill in the gaps in your on-the-job knowledge and find out what to expect from the exam itself. A typical chapter opens with a discussion of a business goal, such as guaranteeing that users are unaware that certain applications that they use reside on a remote server. Terms and concepts that have to do with the Citrix way of achieving that goal are introduced then. Zooming closer to the mechanisms that provide the service, the book walks you through procedures and shows you aspects of the interface that you should see ("On the Job" tips are sometimes helpful, but sometimes too short to be of any use). Self-test material and bulleted key points for quick review are included. --David Wall Topics covered: Citrix Certified Administrator (CCA) exam (218) topics, including all aspects (short of those that might interest developers) of the Citrix Independent Computing Architecture (ICA) and the MetaFrame 1.8 distributed computing solution; system setup and administration, including Windows Terminal Server, load balancing, Citrix client software, and Web connectivity.

Piece of Cake

This is not a particularly difficult test. After reading this book, I took the Boson practice exams and then took the real test. I finished in 20 minutes with a score of 90%. This book has everything that you need to pass exam 218 -- it is complete and accurate as well as easy to read and understand. I doubt that I really even needed to take the time with the Boson tests, but if you want more experience with answering test...

Excellent for the Citrix CCA Exam

This book was excellent for passing the CCA exam. I had attended the Citrix course, and the coursebook handed out in the exam was not enough to pass the exam. I invested in purchasing this book to pass the CCA exam and it was a success with 98%. I am very pleased with the exam watch notes throughout the book. These were very helpful in passing the exam. The book is very thorough for the CCA Admin Exam. Good Luck!!

This book covers all the necessary subject matter very well andis well worth the cost...At times it is a bit repetitive and may even seem as though your getting more of a Citrix sales pitch, but within the pages of this book is every thing you need to know to ace the exam.

Maps well to the actual CCA exam. I'm really pleased i walked away with...
