Free Practice Questions for VMware 2V0-51.23 Exam

Thin Clients and Zero Clients have the lowest cost of ownership and are easier to manage due to their minimalistic design, which lacks a full operating system, resulting in fewer components that require updates. These clients are designed for remote desktop services like VMware Horizon, where the computing work is done on the server side, making firmware updates and monitoring simpler and more centralized.

The default URL used to access the Horizon Console is https:// /admin, where is the fully qualified domain name of the Connection Server instance. This URL allows you to log in to Horizon Console by using a secure (TLS) connection. You can also use the IP address of the Connection Server instance instead of the FQDN, but this might result in blocked access or reduced security due to certificate mismatch. You cannot use https://localhost to connect from the Connection Server host, but you can use https://127.0.0.1 instead. The other options are not valid URLs for Horizon Console.  References: Log In to Horizon Console

VMware Horizon Cloud on Microsoft Azure is the only deployment solution that meets all the requirements. VMware Horizon Cloud on Microsoft Azure supports Windows 10 Enterprise multi-session desktops, which are a new Remote Desktop Session Host exclusive to Azure Virtual Desktop on Azure1. It also supports App Volumes, which is a real-time application delivery system that enables IT to instantly provision applications to users or desktops. VMware Horizon Cloud on Microsoft Azure supports centralized brokering, which means that the Horizon Cloud Service acts as a single point of entry for end users to access their virtual desktops and applications. VMware Horizon Cloud on Microsoft Azure also supports automatic routing of end-users to the most appropriate virtual workspace, using the Universal Broker feature. Universal Broker is a cloud-based brokering service that provides a unified user experience across multiple Horizon pods and clouds.

VMware vSphere Desktop Edition does not support Windows 10 Enterprise multi-session desktops, as they are only available on Azure Virtual Desktop1. VMware Workspace ONE Unified Endpoint Management does not support App Volumes, as it is a different solution for managing devices and applications. VMware Horizon On-Premises does not support automatic routing of end-users to the most appropriate virtual workspace, as it requires manual configuration of load balancing and global entitlements. References:

VMware App Volumes is a real-time application delivery system that allows administrators to assign applications to users and groups in Horizon. App Volumes uses virtual disks called packages to store and deliver applications. When a user logs on to a desktop, the App Volumes agent attaches the assigned packages to the desktop and merges them with the OS disk. The user can then access the applications as if they were natively installed.

App Volumes is a suitable solution for deploying an application to specific users in an instant-clone desktop environment with the following characteristics:

The application needs to be updated very frequently: App Volumes allows administrators to update applications in real time by using the update or push-image operations. These operations replace the existing packages with new ones that have the latest updates applied, without affecting the user data or settings. The updated packages are delivered to the users at the next login or refresh.

The application needs to be installed as soon as possible: App Volumes allows administrators to install applications quickly and easily by using a clean packaging system and capturing the application installation process. The resulting package can be assigned to users or groups immediately, without requiring any recomposing or rebooting of the desktops.

The application is not multi-user aware: App Volumes allows administrators to deliver applications that are not multi-user aware by using writable volumes. Writable volumes are user-specific virtual disks that store user-installed applications, data, and settings. Writable volumes can be attached to desktops along with application packages, and they can isolate the user-installed applications from the system-installed applications.

The other options are not suitable for meeting the requirements:

VMware Horizon Published Application: This option allows administrators to publish applications from RDS hosts to users in Horizon. However, this option requires a separate RDS infrastructure and licensing, and it does not support instant updates or writable volumes for user-installed applications.

VMware Dynamic Environment Manager: This option allows administrators to manage user profiles and policies in Horizon. However, this option does not deliver or update applications, and it does not support writable volumes for user-installed applications.

VMware ThinApp: This option allows administrators to package applications into portable executables that can run on any Windows system without installation. However, this option requires a separate packaging process and licensing, and it does not support instant updates or writable volumes for user-installed applications.

The administrator can take two actions to make the golden image show up in the Golden Image selection window. First, they can login to the vSphere Client, select the Golden Image virtual machine and create a snapshot. This will make the golden image available in the selection window. Second, they can login to the vSphere Client, select the Golden Image virtual machine and convert it to a template. This will also make the golden image available in the selection window.

A golden image is a virtual machine that contains the operating system, applications, and settings that are required for an instant clone desktop pool. To create an instant clone desktop pool, the administrator must select a golden image and a snapshot from the vSphere inventory. The snapshot must be taken after installing and configuring the Horizon Agent on the golden image1. If there is no snapshot or no template available, the golden image will not show up in the selection window.

The other options are not correct for this scenario:

Login to the vSphere Client, select the Golden Image virtual machine and delete all snapshots. This option is not correct because deleting all snapshots will not make the golden image show up in the selection window. In fact, it will prevent the administrator from creating an instant clone desktop pool, as a snapshot is required for instant cloning2.

Refresh the Select Golden Image view and select the Golden Image. This option is not correct because refreshing the view will not change the availability of the golden image in the selection window. The administrator must create a snapshot or a template of the golden image before it can be selected.

Login to the vSphere Client, select the Golden Image virtual machine and clone it to a new virtual machine. This option is not correct because cloning the golden image to a new virtual machine will not make it show up in the selection window. The administrator must still create a snapshot or a template of the cloned virtual machine before it can be selected.

Configuring BLAST Bandwidth Profiles involves setting quality, maximum session bandwidth, and frame rate controls. This can be effectively managed using Horizon Smart Policies within VMware's Dynamic Environment Manager (DEM), which allows administrators to create contextual policies that dynamically adapt to the end-user's environment. Alternatively, Group Policy Objects (GPOs) can be used to manually set these configurations across the desktop environment, providing a more static approach to enforcing these settings.

To enable the Senior Administrator's team, which is part of the "Horizon View Operators" AD group, to connect to vCenter and update the golden image, the Senior Administrator needs to assign the appropriate permissions in the vSphere Client. By adding the group to the vCenter Server with the necessary roles and privileges, members of the "Horizon View Operators" group will be able to access and modify the VMs required for maintaining the desktop pools in the VMware Horizon environment.
