VMware vSphere 7.x Professional (VCP-DCV 2021) — Question 87

An administrator is unable to use the vSphere Client shutdown option on a Windows VM.
What should be installed to correct this?

Answer options

• A. Autologon
• B. Windows Updates
• C. PortMon
• D. VMware Tools

Correct answer: D

Explanation

Installing VMware Tools is essential for enabling the vSphere Client shutdown option as it facilitates communication between the VM and the hypervisor. The other options do not relate directly to the functionality of shutting down the VM through the vSphere Client, making them ineffective for this specific issue.
