B.requires local accounts
C.requires users to change their passwords every 6 months by default
D.controls vCenter authentication for vSphere Client users
Answer: AB
Explanation:
Enabling Active Directory Authentication with ESX Server, page2.
A variety of authentication providers are available for use. ESX Server includes services that can be used to meet your authentication needs but also supports the use of other authentication providers. This is especially useful in cases where a collection of users has already been established, as in organizations using Active Directory. To facilitate the use of such providers, ESX Server includes an option in the esxcfg tool to configure the use of other authentication providers, (A).
ESX Configuration Guide ESX 4.0 vCenter Server 4.0, page 165.
The default installation of ESX uses /etc/passwd authentication as Linux does, but you can configure ESX to use another distributed authentication mechanism, (B).

QUESTION 57
On an ESX Host, a particular user is assigned the Administrator role. However, when that user logs into the vCenter Server, he has Read Only permissions. What most likely caused this?
A.ESX Server permission assignments do not propagate to the vCenter Server
B.The permissions assigned on the ESX Server will not update in vCenter until the next scheduled update interval
C.The ESX Server is not joined to the Active Directory domain
D.The user has Read Only permissions specifically assigned to an item, which overrides propagated permissions
Answer: A
Explanation:
vSphere Basic System Administration vCenter Server 4.0 ESX 4.0 ESXi 4.0, page 211.
The privileges and roles assigned on an ESX/ESXi host are separate from the privileges and roles assigned on a vCenter Server system. When you manage a host using vCenter Server, only the privileges and roles assigned through the vCenter Server system are available. If you connect directly to the host using the vSphere Client, only the privileges and roles assigned directly on the host are available, (A).
