VMware Horizon 8 Specialist — Question 56

An administrator has been tasked with configuring service discovery to identify which virtual machines are running Active Directory services. All virtual machines are running on vSphere 6.5.
Which credentials, if any, are needed for the administrator to complete this task?

Answer options

• A. No credentials are needed since credential-less service discovery can be used.
• B. Local Windows administrator account and password.
• C. Active Directory domain administrator account and password.
• D. Active Directory domain user account and password.

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C because Active Directory domain administrator credentials provide the necessary permissions to access and identify all Active Directory services running on the virtual machines. The other options do not grant sufficient access to perform this discovery; local administrator accounts are limited to the specific machine, credential-less discovery cannot provide detailed information, and domain user accounts lack the elevated permissions required.
