Q: 3
An administrator creates a virtual machine that contains the latest company-approved software,
tools and security updates. Company policy requires that only full clones are allowed for server
workloads.
A combination of which two tasks should the administrator complete to prepare for the deployment
of this virtual machine for multiple users? (Choose two.)

Option D and B. Snapshots (E) look tempting but they're mainly for backup or rollback, not prepping for full clone rollouts. Template plus customization spec is what VMware guides recommend for this scenario, at least from what I've seen in labs and practice.
Makes sense to use D and B, since templates are standard for full clone rollouts and the customization spec helps ensure unique configs per user. I saw a similar question on a practice exam and these steps were needed.
C or D here, but official guide and hands-on labs both push for using templates (D) and customization specs (B) for deploying multiple servers to unique users. Snapshots are more about rollback, not deployment. Not 100% but that matches what I've seen in exam practice.
B , snapshots (E) are needed for rollback but could still help with prepping clones. Not convinced D is always right here.
Hard to say, B and D again here. If it said the company allowed linked clones, then you might grab E for snapshots instead, but full clones require the template plus a customization spec for unique hosts in production. Seen a similar question with this twist on other practice sets.
I don’t think E is right, since snapshots are more for rollback, not new deployments. Pretty sure it’s B and D-template plus customization spec is what you actually need for this kind of mass server rollout. Anyone see it another way?
Pretty sure it's B and D. You need the customization spec for unique deployments, and templates are standard for mass VM rollout. Saw similar advice in the official docs and practice labs. Disagree?
Be respectful. No spam.
