VMware vSphere 8.x Professional — Question 18

An administrator creates a virtual machine that contains the latest company-approved software, tools and security updates. Company policy requires that only full clones are allowed for server workloads.
A combination of which two tasks should the administrator complete to prepare for the deployment of this virtual machine for multiple users? (Choose two.)

Answer options

• A. Set appropriate permissions on the virtual machine.
• B. Create a virtual machine customization specification.
• C. Upgrade the virtual hardware.
• D. Convert the virtual machine to a template.
• E. Take a snapshot of the virtual machine.

Correct answer: B, D

Explanation

The correct answers are B and D. Creating a virtual machine customization specification (B) allows the deployment of unique configurations for each clone, while converting the virtual machine to a template (D) enables the creation of full clones in compliance with company policy. The other options, while important, do not directly prepare the virtual machine for multiple user deployment in the context of full cloning.
