VMware vSphere 7.x Professional for Service Providers — Question 40

A vSphere administrator is required to join all stateless ESXi hosts to an Active Directory domain for enhanced security.
Which utility would accomplish this?

Answer options

• A. vSphere Authentication Proxy
• B. vSphere Update Manger
• C. vSphere Auto Deploy
• D. Unified Access Gateway

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The vSphere Authentication Proxy is specifically designed to facilitate the joining of ESXi hosts to Active Directory, thus enhancing security. The other options, such as vSphere Update Manager and vSphere Auto Deploy, serve different purposes related to updates and deployments, while Unified Access Gateway is focused on secure access rather than domain integration.
