Today i took 1Y1-A05 Implementing Citrix XenApp for Windows Server 2008 beta exam. it was a great learning experience for me as the exam had 179 questions and four hours time (As i got thirty minutes time extension as a non-native English speaker).

So here i will give you a quick summary on the exam.Before attempting the exam make sure you have a deep knowledge on citrix services like IMA,XTE,XML, A lot of questions were based on policies specifically Printing,Streaming,Policy Prioritization,Make sure that you know the new terminologies ,the new names for management console,clients like Program Neighborhood Agent client is now XenApp plugin,Presentation Server client is now XenApp plugin for Hosted Apps,Presentation Server Web client XenApp is now Web plugin,Application Streaming client is now XenApp plugin for Streamed Apps & Presentation Server Console is now XenApp Advanced Configuration.You need some basic knowledge on telnet and netstat.Know the Service ports very well as some of them are
