VMware vSphere 7.x Professional (VCP-DCV 2021) — Question 52

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

Answer options

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

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C, vSphere Authentication Proxy, as it is specifically designed to facilitate the authentication of ESXi hosts with Active Directory. The other options, such as Unified Access Gateway, vSphere Update Manager, and vSphere Auto Deploy, serve different purposes and do not provide the capability to join ESXi hosts to an Active Directory domain.
