DRAG DROP (Drag and Drop is not supported)
Drag and drop each Horizon console predefined role on the left to its matching function on the right.

  1. See Explanation section for answer.

Answer(s): A

Explanation:

The following is the correct answer for the drag and drop question:
Administrator -> Performs all desktop, session, and pool-related operation. Inventory Administrator -> Performs all administrative functions and applies to an Access Group. Local Administrator -> No rights to manage Cloud Pod or the Global Data Layer.
Predefined Administrator Roles (vmware.com)

The predefined administrator roles in Horizon console are designed to provide different levels of access and control over the Horizon environment. Each role has a set of privileges that grant the ability to perform specific actions or view certain information. You can assign these roles to users or groups on the root access group, which gives them access to all inventory objects in the system, or on a specific access group or federation access group, which limits their scope to the objects within that group. You cannot modify the predefined roles, but you can create custom roles by selecting individual privileges.
The Administrator role is the most powerful role in Horizon console. It allows the user to perform all administrative operations, including creating and managing desktop pools, sessions, farms, applications, global settings, and other administrators. In a Cloud Pod Architecture environment, this role also enables the user to configure and manage a pod federation and manage remote pod sessions. The Administrator role on the root access group is equivalent to a super user role, as it gives full access to everything in the system. Therefore, you should assign this role to a limited number of users.
The Inventory Administrator role is similar to the Administrator role, but it applies only to an access group. This means that the user can perform all administrative functions on the inventory objects that belong to that access group, such as desktop pools, farms, applications, and sessions. However, the user cannot manage global settings or other administrators. This role is useful for delegating administration of specific resources to different users or groups. The Local Administrator role is a restricted version of the Inventory Administrator role. It applies only to an access group and does not grant any rights to manage Cloud Pod Architecture features or the Global Data Layer. This means that the user can only manage local inventory objects within that access group, such as desktop pools, farms, applications, and sessions. This role is suitable for administrators who do not need to access or modify global settings or cross-pod resources. The Help Desk Administrator role is a specialized role that allows the user to perform desktop and application actions for troubleshooting and support purposes. These actions include shutting down, resetting, restarting, logging off, disconnecting, and sending messages to users' desktops or applications. The user can also perform remote assistance actions such as ending processes or viewing system information for a user's desktop or application. The user cannot create or modify any inventory objects or settings with this role.



A senior Horizon administrator is tasked with enabling two-factor authentication for other Horizon administrators to login to the Horizon Console.

Which option will the administrator use that supports two-factor authentication?

  1. Smart Card Authentication
  2. RSA SecureID
  3. SAML
  4. RADIUS

Answer(s): D

Explanation:

RADIUS (Remote Authentication Dial-In User Service) supports two-factor authentication and can be integrated with VMware Horizon to secure administrative access to the Horizon Console. RADIUS servers authenticate users based on a combination of something they know (a password) and something they have (a token or mobile app-generated code), providing an added layer of security for administrative logins.



Which two steps must be completed in order to expand a Writable Volume? (Choose two.)

  1. Select Volumes > Writables > Select Volume > Update Writable.
  2. Specify a size which is at least 1MB larger than the current size of the volume.
  3. Select Volumes > Writables > Select Volume > Expand.
  4. Specify a size which is at least 1GB larger than the current size of the volume.
  5. Modify the snapvol.cfg to reflect the new size.

Answer(s): A,D

Explanation:

To expand a Writable Volume in VMware Horizon, the administrator needs to navigate to the Volumes > Writables section in the Horizon Console, select the specific volume, and choose the option to update or expand the writable volume. The new size specified must be at least 1GB larger than the current size to ensure there is enough space for the expansion process and to accommodate the growth of user data.



A VMware Horizon administrator is tasked with deployment of a desktop pool, which should fulfill these requirements:
. End-users should always get the same desktop VM.
. Backups with the existing VMware image-based backup tool should be supported. . Desktop VMs will be cloned on a weekly basis per vSphere API.

Which desktop solution can accomplish this requirement?

  1. Automated Desktop Pool, based on Dedicated Full Clone Virtual Machines.
  2. Automated Desktop Pool, based on Floating Full Clone Virtual Machines.
  3. Automated Desktop Pool, based on floating Instant Clones.
  4. Automated Desktop Pool, based on dedicated Instant Clones.

Answer(s): A

Explanation:

An Automated Desktop Pool using Dedicated Full Clone Virtual Machines best meets the requirements because it ensures end-users always receive the same desktop VM, supports backups with VMware's image-based backup tools, and allows for cloning via the vSphere API on a weekly basis. Full clones are standalone VMs that don't depend on a parent VM after being created, making them suitable for image-based backups and consistent user experience.



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

  1. Horizon Helpdesk Agent
  2. vdmadmin -I -timingProfiler -enable
  3. Blast Secure Gateway
  4. vdmadmin -A -d dtpool2 -m machine1 -getstatus

Answer(s): B

Explanation:

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.
