Which two options would allow a database administrator, with no access to the vSphere infrastructure, to connect to a virtual machine? (Choose two.)

The correct answer is B. Use Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP) to connect. C. Ask the vSphere administrator to grant permission to access the console through vCenter Server. A user with no vSphere infrastructure access can reach a VM through OS-level RDP using network connectivity, or by having a vSphere admin grant explicit console permissions in vCenter.

Why each option

A user with no vSphere infrastructure access can reach a VM through OS-level RDP using network connectivity, or by having a vSphere admin grant explicit console permissions in vCenter.

AUse the Virtual Machine Remote Console (VMRC).

VMRC authenticates against vCenter Server and requires valid vSphere credentials with at least read and console interaction permissions, which the database administrator does not have.

BUse Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP) to connect.Correct

RDP operates entirely at the guest OS network layer using the VM's IP address and OS credentials, requiring no vSphere or vCenter permissions, so any user with network access and the correct OS credentials can connect.

CAsk the vSphere administrator to grant permission to access the console through vCenter Server.Correct

A vSphere administrator can assign a scoped role in vCenter Server that grants only VM console access to a specific user, allowing the database administrator to open a console session without broader infrastructure privileges.

DAsk the vSphere administrator to grant permission to access with the Horizon View Direct

Horizon View Direct Connect is part of the VMware Horizon product suite and requires separate Horizon infrastructure; it is not a standard mechanism for granting VM console access within a plain vSphere environment.
