2V0-51.23 Exam Dumps - VMware Horizon 8.x Professional

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.

• Administrator: Performs all administrative functions and applies to an Access Group.
• Inventory Administrator: Performs all desktop, session, and pool-related operation.
• Local Administrator: No rights to manage Cloud Pod or the Global Data Layer.

To access the settings and status of a pool in VMware Horizon, an administrator would navigate to the Inventory > Desktops section of the Horizon Console. By selecting a specific pool, the administrator can view detailed information in the Summary section, including Pool Settings and the status of the image used during the pool's deployment, providing insights into the pool's configuration and operational status.

The reason for the issue is that the administrator may not have added an instant clone domain administrator to VMware Horizon. This is a requirement for creating an automated farm of instant-clone virtual machines using the Add Farm wizard.

An instant clone domain administrator is a user account in Microsoft Active Directory that allows Connection Server to perform certain operations related to instant clones in Active Directory, such as joining instant-clone virtual machines to the domain, creating computer accounts, and deleting computer accounts. The administrator must create and configure this account in Active Directory and then specify the user name and password in VMware Horizon.

To add an instant clone domain administrator to VMware Horizon, the administrator needs to follow these steps:

• In the Horizon Console, select Settings > Domains > Domain Accounts.
• Click Add.
• Enter the domain, user name, and password for the instant clone domain administrator.

After adding the instant clone domain administrator to VMware Horizon, the administrator can proceed with creating an automated farm of instant-clone virtual machines using the Add Farm wizard.

The other options are not the reason for the issue:

• In the Add Farm wizard, the administrator may not have selected Automated Farm as farm type: This option is not relevant to the issue, as the farm type selection is done in a later page of the Add Farm wizard, after selecting the domain and the AD container. The page displayed in the exhibit is the Identification and Settings page, which is the first page of the Add Farm wizard.
• The administrator did not prepare a RDSH golden image snapshot: This option is not relevant to the issue, as the RDSH golden image snapshot selection is done in a later page of the Add Farm wizard, after selecting the domain and the AD container. The page displayed in the exhibit is the Identification and Settings page, which does not require a RDSH golden image snapshot.
• The administrator did not add the RDSH golden image to the correct domain: This option is not relevant to the issue, as the RDSH golden image domain selection is done in a later page of the Add Farm wizard, after selecting the domain and the AD container. The page displayed in the exhibit is the Identification and Settings page, which does not require a RDSH golden image domain.

Cloud Pod Architecture is a feature that allows administrators to link multiple Horizon pods across sites and data centers to form a single logical entity called a pod federation. Cloud Pod Architecture enables global entitlements, which allow users to access desktops and applications from any pod in the pod federation. Cloud Pod Architecture also provides load balancing, high availability, and disaster recovery capabilities for Horizon deployments.

However, Cloud Pod Architecture has some feature limitations that administrators should be aware of. Two of these limitations are:

• Cloud Pod Architecture does not support Active Directory two-way trusts between domains: This means that the domains that contain the Horizon pods in the pod federation must have a one-way trust relationship, where the domain that contains the Cloud Pod Architecture home site trusts all the other domains, but not vice versa. A two-way trust relationship, where each domain trusts and is trusted by all the other domains, is not supported by Cloud Pod Architecture and can cause authentication and entitlement issues.
• Kiosk mode clients are not supported unless a workaround has been implemented: This means that users who log in to Horizon Client in kiosk mode, which is a mode that allows users to access a single desktop or application without entering credentials, cannot access desktops or applications from a Cloud Pod Architecture implementation. Kiosk mode clients are not compatible with global entitlements and load balancing features of Cloud Pod Architecture. However, there is a workaround that involves creating a dedicated user account and a dedicated desktop pool for each kiosk mode client and using a script to launch Horizon Client with the appropriate parameters. For instructions, see VMware Knowledge Base (KB) article 21488881.

The other options are not limitations of Cloud Pod Architecture:

• Cloud Pod Architecture is supported with Unified Access Gateway appliances: Unified Access Gateway is a platform that provides secure edge services for Horizon deployments, such as secure remote access, load balancing, and authentication. Unified Access Gateway is compatible with Cloud Pod Architecture and can be configured to route user requests to the appropriate pod in the pod federation based on global entitlements and load balancing policies.
• Cloud Pod Architecture can span multiple sites and data centers simultaneously: This is one of the main benefits of Cloud Pod Architecture, as it allows administrators to scale up and out their Horizon deployments across different geographic locations and network boundaries. Cloud Pod Architecture can support up to 15 pods per pod federation and up to 5 sites per pod federation, with a maximum of 200,000 sessions per pod federation.
• The Cloud Pod Architecture feature is supported in an IPv6 environment: IPv6 is the latest version of the Internet Protocol that provides a larger address space and enhanced security features for network communication. Cloud Pod Architecture supports IPv6 environments and can operate in mixed IPv4 and IPv6 environments as well.

VMware vCenter Server is the central management component for ESXi servers, allowing administrators to manage multiple ESXi hosts and virtual machines (VMs) from a single console. It provides essential management capabilities, including resource allocation, performance monitoring, and centralized access control, making it the cornerstone for managing a VMware virtualized infrastructure.

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.
