Scenario: A Citrix Administrator needs to reduce costs by limiting users' printing sources. The administrator needs to stop automatic creation of all client printers in a session and map printers based on the floor of the building from which the user's session connects.
Which two policies should the administrator configure to complete this task? (Choose two.)
CD

Why would it not be B and D? The first task is stop auto creation of printers. Should you not define that and set it as disabled first?
Yeah, B & D. C is enabled by default
c is wrong, B & D
B do disable auto-create client printers and D to configure sessions printers. C you don't have to touch because direct connection to print server is enabled by default.
The two policies that the Citrix Administrator should configure to achieve this task are: B. Auto-create client printers: This policy should be set to "Disabled" to stop the automatic creation of all client printers in a session. With this policy set to disabled, users will not be able to print to any printers other than the ones mapped by the administrator. D. Session printers: This policy should be set to "Enabled" to map printers based on the floor of the building from which the user's session connects. With this policy enabled, the administrator can create printer mapping rules based on the user's IP address and the printer's location. This will ensure that users can only print to printers that are located on their floor. Therefore, the two policies that the Citrix Administrator should configure are "Auto-create client printers" and "Session printers."
What happen if in the exam the correct answer are C and D? you can discuss the answer?
First we need to disable auto-creation of printers. "Client printer redirection This setting controls whether client printers are mapped to a server when a user logs on to a session. By default, client printer mapping is allowed...." https://docs.citrix.com/en-us/citrix-virtual-apps-desktops/policies/reference/ica-policy-settings/printing-policy-settings.html#client-printer-redirection Next, we need to configure the desired session printers.
C is wrong, as long as you don't disable automatic creation (unfiltered default) all printers are mapped. B&D is right because C is enables by default!
Set the "Auto-create client printers" policy to "Disabled". Set the "Session printers" policy to "Enabled". These policies limit users' printing sources and prevent automatic creation of all client printers in a session. Instead, printers will be mapped based on the floor of the building from which the user's session connects. The "Session printers" policy ensures that only assigned printers are used during a user's session, which reduces printing costs. However, it also restricts users from adding their own printers or using non-assigned printers.
C is wrong
C is wrong since you need to set the Auto-Create to disabled to achieve not mapping users' client drive.
