VMware vSphere 8.x Professional — Question 22

An administrator manually configures a reference ESXi host that meets company security standards for vSphere environments. The administrator now needs to apply all of the security standards to every identically configured host across multiple vSphere clusters within a single VMware vCenter instance.
Which four steps would the administrator complete to meet this requirement? (Choose four.)

Answer options

• A. Extract the host profile from the reference host.
• B. Export the host profile from vCenter.
• C. Import host customization on the reference host.
• D. Attach the host profile to each cluster that requires the secure configuration.
• E. Check the compliance of each host against the host profile.
• F. Reset host customization on the reference host.
• G. Remediate all non-compliant hosts.

Correct answer: A, D, E, G

Explanation

The correct steps involve extracting the host profile from the reference host (A), attaching it to each cluster that needs the secure setup (D), checking compliance of the hosts against the profile (E), and remediating any hosts that do not comply (G). Options B, C, and F are not necessary for applying the configurations across multiple hosts, making them incorrect in this context.
