Refer to the Exhibit. An administrator has configured a host profile so that ESXi 6.x hosts will point to the corporate NTP server for time synchronization. The NTP server is located at 10.0.30.213…

Question

Exhibit

Options

• ACorrect the NTP server IP address.
• BCheck the host for host profile compliance.
• CRemediate the host based on the updated host profile.
• DChange the NTP server to the FQDN as IP Addresses are not supported.

• A
  76% (13)
• B
  18% (3)
• D
  6% (1)

Explanation

The exhibit shows an incorrect NTP server IP address configured in the host profile (not matching the intended 10.0.30.213). Two steps are required: First (A), correct the IP address in the host profile so it points to the right NTP server. Second (C), remediate the hosts against the updated host profile so the corrected configuration is actually pushed out and applied to the ESXi hosts - updating a host profile alone does not automatically reconfigure the hosts. Option B (checking compliance) only reports drift but does not fix it. Option D is incorrect because IP addresses are fully supported for NTP server configuration in ESXi host profiles.
