Wesley A.Apr 13, 2026C is your answer. The "Universal Print Server enable" policy is exactly what activates the UPS feature in XenDesktop, telling the environment to route print jobs through the Universal Print Server instead of relying on individual client-side printer drivers, which is the whole point of simplifying driver management in the first place.
Yusuf A.Apr 14, 2026Yeah that tracks, though one thing my senior pointed out is that flipping that policy alone is not enough, you still have to actually install the UPS software on the Windows print server itself or the policy just enables a feature with nothing on the other end to connect to.
Yusuf A.Apr 8, 2026I almost picked D, but "Universal Print Server enable" is literally the switch that turns it on.
Viktor S.Mar 30, 2026C is obviously right. The "Universal Print Server enable" policy is the switch that tells XenDesktop to actually route print jobs through the UPS infrastructure instead of falling back to individual client-side drivers, which is the whole point of deploying UPS in the first place.
Jovan I.Apr 30, 2026I kept second-guessing myself on this one and almost went with D because of the word "Universal" in the option name, but that policy just controls driver fallback behavior inside an already-running print session, not whether the Universal Print Server feature itself is turned on. The policy you have to configure is C, Universal Print Server enable, because without it the UPS infrastructure is simply not brokered, regardless of what your other printing policies say.
Orla P.May 2, 2026Jumping in here because I went back and forth on this one and landed firmly on A. Client printer redirection is the foundational policy that controls whether client-side printers even show up in a session, and without that enabled and configured, the Universal Print Server has nothing to work with on the endpoint side. The way I read the question, the engineer needs to simplify driver management, and client printer redirection is the gate you open first, because it governs how the client device hands off printer information to the session. If you skip configuring that policy, you end up with inconsistent printer visibility regardless of what else you set. The driver simplification comes downstream once redirection is established, so from a logical build order standpoint, A is where you start and where the answer lives.
Viktor S.May 4, 2026Orla, client printer redirection handles whether printers appear in the session, but the question is about simplifying driver management, and that lands squarely on the Universal Print Driver policy, which lets the session use a single generic driver instead of requiring matched client-side drivers for every printer. C is the right answer because driver simplification is the explicit goal, not session printer visibility.
