Question
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.)
Options
- APrinter properties retention
- BAuto-create client printers
- CDirect connections to print servers
- DSession printers

Explanation
To stop the automatic creation of all client printers and map printers based on location, the administrator should configure the Auto-create client printers policy to 'Do not auto-create client printers', and use the Session printers policy to map printers to users based on their session's connection location.

6B and D. Auto-create client printers lets you shut off the default behavior that maps every client printer automatically, and Session printers lets you define exactly which network printers get mapped based on filters like Active Directory site or IP range, which is how you target by floor. Together they replace the spray-and-pray approach with deliberate, location-aware printer assignment.
Yes, B and D are the right ones here. You set "Auto-create client printers" to disable automatic creation so no random client printers pop up in sessions, then use "Session printers" to map specific network printers based on filters like the user's IP subnet or location, which is exactly how you would tie printers to a floor.
I initially thought Direct connections to print servers (C) had to be in the mix since the scenario mentions floor-based mapping, but that policy only controls whether the client routes jobs directly to the print server rather than through the VDA, which is a bandwidth setting, not an assignment setting. What sealed it for me was going back to the Citrix Virtual Apps and Desktops 7 1912 LTSR documentation, which is the reference for the 1Y0-204 blueprint, and confirming that Auto-create client printers (B) is exactly what controls whether client printers get auto-created at session launch, and Session printers (D) is the policy that lets you assign specific network printers based on filters like subnet or Active Directory OU, which is how you map printers per building floor.
I almost went with A, but session printers lets you map by location and auto-create controls the rest.
The Citrix docs on Session Printers policy specify that proximity printing via location-based mapping only applies when the client IP subnet is configured in Delivery Controller, so if that subnet mapping is missing, auto-create falls back to default behavior and you lose the location logic entirely.
Saw this exact combo on my exam, B kills autocreation, D maps by location policy.
