Active Directory user computer name caching in XenDesktop
In a XenDesktop environment, the Citrix Broker Service caches the hostname of Delivery Controllers, VDA machines and user account names in SQL. This ensures queries of Active Directory users and computers that are associated with the XenDesktop farm are quick and do not need to go across to Domain Controllers for such information.
SmartControl and SmartAccess
Both SmartAccess and SmartControl are similar in practice. One is implemented at the Delivery Controller level with the use of Citrix policies (SmartAccess) and the other is implemented at the NetScaler Gateway level (SmartControl). SmartControl was introduced in NetScaler v11, and is a Platinum feature.
