VMware VMware Certifications 2V0-51.23 Questions & Answers

• Question 1:

  After creating a global entitlement, an administrator clicks on the name and navigates to Local Pools. The administrator clicks on Add but no local pools show up in the selection windows. What can be one explanation for this?

  A. Global entitlements can only be configured with local Instant clone pools.

  B. Global entitlements can only be configured with local manual pools.

  C. Global entitlements setting must be matching with the local pool setting, otherwise they cannot be selected.

  D. Global entitlements can only be configured with local RDSH pools.

  Correct Answer: C

  For a global entitlement to include local desktop pools, the settings and configurations of the global entitlement must be compatible with those of the local pools. If there is a mismatch in settings, such as display protocol, user assignment type (dedicated or floating), or other critical configurations, the local pools will not appear as selectable options when adding them to a global entitlement.

• Question 2:

  Refer to the exhibit.

  

  An administrator wants to be able to see the desktop VM's active session in vSphere Console.

  In the Group Policy Management Editor window, mark the correct VMware Blast setting to be configured by clicking on it.

  A. check the answer in the explanation

  B. PlaceHolder

  C. PlaceHolder

  D. PlaceHolder

  Correct Answer: A

  In the Group Policy Management Editor window shown, the administrator should configure the "VMware Horizon Performance Tracker " setting to be able to see the desktop VM's active session in the vSphere Console. However, this setting is not directly visible in the screenshot provided. The Performance Tracker is a tool that enables the monitoring of session performance and is used for this purpose.

  In the list shown, there is no specific setting under "VMware Blast" that directly allows for the monitoring of active sessions in the vSphere Console. Typically, active session monitoring in the vSphere Console is not solely managed via Group Policy but also involves settings within the VMware Horizon Console itself and the vSphere infrastructure.

  If the task requires enabling something from Group Policy for better visibility or performance tracking of the VM's active sessions, then the closest relevant setting in the context of VMware Blast would be the "VMware Horizon Performance Tracker" if it was listed or part of another category in the Group Policy settings.

• Question 3:

  An administrator wants to ensure that user's desktop experience is consistent regardless of the desktop they connect to. What solution should be used to meet the requirement?

  A. Persona Management

  B. Temporary Profiles

  C. Dynamic Environment Manager

  D. Local Profiles

  Correct Answer: C

  VMware Horizon's Dynamic Environment Manager (DEM) is designed to provide a consistent and personalized desktop experience for users across different sessions and desktops. DEM manages user profiles and policies dynamically, ensuring that user settings, preferences, and application configurations are consistent no matter which desktop a user connects to, thus meeting the requirement for a uniform desktop experience.

• Question 4:

  A Horizon Administrator is publishing an application which will be used by users across multiple Horizon pods and sites. Which feature of Global Entitlements are beneficial to this scenario?

  A. Applications can be hosted from multiple pods but a user sees only a single icon.

  B. Users must be explicitly assigned access to each application in each pod.

  C. Users can pick which pod delivers the application at launch.

  D. Applications do not have to be explicitly published from each pod.

  Correct Answer: A

  Global Entitlements in VMware Horizon allow for the aggregation of resources across multiple pods and sites into a single entitlement. This feature is particularly beneficial when publishing applications that are hosted across different pods, as it ensures that users see only one icon for the application, regardless of which pod it is hosted on, simplifying the user experience and administration of applications in a multi-pod Horizon environment.

• Question 5:

  An administrator has created an application pool for frequently used applications using and RDS Farm. The administrator wants to start these applications immediately after a user has authenticated to the Horizon Connection Server. Which of the following statement is accurate in this scenario?

  A. Edit the pool and select the Pre-Launch checkbox to start applications immediately after a user has authenticated to the Horizon Connection Server.

  B. Instead of the application pool being of the RDS Farm type, change the Application Pool type to Desktop Pool.

  C. This cannot be done. Published applications cannot start automatically after a user has authenticated to the Horizon Connection Server.

  D. Nothing needs to be done. Published applications start automatically after a user has authenticated to the Horizon Connection Server.

  Correct Answer: A

  In VMware Horizon, the Pre-Launch feature allows for the initiation of applications immediately after user authentication, reducing the launch time of frequently used applications. By editing the application pool settings and enabling the Pre-Launch option, administrators can improve user experience by having critical applications ready as soon as the authentication process is completed.

• Question 6:

  A new Horizon environment has gone into production. External sessions are being disconnected after a random period of time. The following information has been documented by the administrator:

  1.

  Internal and external users are able to connect to their desktops.

  2.

  External sessions connect via Unified Access Gateway.

  3.

  Users are immediately able to reconnect but are disconnected again in a few minutes.

  4.

  Due to limited amount of public IP addresses, all traffic flows through a load balancer.

  5.

  Internal sessions, connected directly to the desktops, are not impacted.

  6.

  While the session remains connected, all expected functionality works properly. What could be a cause of this issue?

  A. A misconfigured network load balancer is in front of the Unified Access Gateway appliances.

  B. A misconfigured network load balancer is in front of the Connection Servers.

  C. Required firewall ports are not open in front of the Unified Access Gateway appliances.

  D. Required firewall ports are not open in front of the Connection Servers.

  Correct Answer: A

  The disconnections of external sessions while internal sessions remain stable suggest an issue with the network infrastructure external to the Horizon environment, specifically with the load balancer placed in front of the Unified Access Gateway (UAG) appliances. Misconfigurations such as improper session persistence settings can lead to sessions being disconnected or improperly routed, causing the observed random disconnections.

• Question 7:

  An administrator recently deployed a Horizon pod with external access using Unified Access Gateway (UAG).While trying to launch VDI from an External network, VDI launches with a black screen and then disconnects. The administrator has validated the port requirement and all other required ports are open. Users are able to connect internally using the connection server URL. While reviewing the UAG logs, the administrator found that the Blast connection is hitting the Connection Server instead of VDI IP.

  What should the administrator do to resolve the issue?

  A. Update the Blast External URL in UAG with port number.

  B. Upload the Blast Proxy Certificate in Horizon Edge Settings.

  C. Enable Tunnel in UAG.

  D. Disable the Tunnel and Gateways in Horizon Connection Server.

  Correct Answer: D

  The issue described indicates that the Horizon Connection Server is incorrectly handling traffic that should be directed to the Unified Access Gateway (UAG) and then to the VDI desktops. Disabling the Tunnel and Gateways settings on the Horizon Connection Server forces the UAG to handle the Blast traffic directly, ensuring that the connections are made to the VDI desktops' IP addresses, thus resolving the black screen and disconnection issue.

• Question 8:

  An administrator wants to provision a new golden image but doesn't see the VM in the list with golden images. Which three could be the cause of the issue? (Choose three.)

  A. The golden image was not optimized.

  B. No snapshot was made after optimizing the golden image.

  C. Enable Windows Server desktops is not set.

  D. There is more than 1 active snapshot on the golden image.

  E. The golden image VM is not configured with a CD-ROM player.

  F. The wrong Guest OS Version was selected when creating the golden image.

  Correct Answer: BDF

  A golden image must have a current snapshot to be used for cloning, and having multiple active snapshots can cause confusion and issues in the provisioning process. Additionally, selecting the correct Guest OS version is crucial for compatibility and optimal performance. These factors must be correctly configured for a VM to appear in the list of available golden images for provisioning.

• Question 9:

  What must be implemented on all Connection Servers for logon segment information to be populated in the Horizon Helpdesk Tool?

  A. Horizon Helpdesk Agent

  B. vdmadmin -I -timingProfiler -enable

  C. Blast Secure Gateway

  D. vdmadmin -A -d dtpool2 -m machine1 -getstatus

  Correct Answer: B

  To populate logon segment information in the Horizon Helpdesk Tool, the Horizon administrator must enable the timing profiler on all Connection Servers. This is done by executing the command vdmadmin -I -timingProfiler -enable . The timing profiler collects detailed timing data about the logon process, which is then displayed in the Horizon Helpdesk Tool, allowing administrators to troubleshoot and improve logon times.

• Question 10:

  When integrating a Linux OS based desktop into Active Directory, which three of the following can be used? (Choose three.)

  A. OpenLDAP Server Pass-through authentication

  B. Winbind Domain Join

  C. OpenLDAP Server Cut-through authentication

  D. Windows Domain Join

  E. System Security Services Daemon (SSSD) LDAP authentication against the AD

  Correct Answer: BDE

  Integrating a Linux OS-based desktop into Active Directory can be achieved using Winbind for domain joining and authentication, Windows Domain Join through tools like Samba, and System Security Services Daemon (SSSD) for LDAP authentication against Active Directory. These methods enable Linux desktops to participate in a Windows-centric environment, allowing for centralized authentication and management.
