An administrator has decided to create 10 ESXi 6.x hosts via Auto Deploy for a new Test/Dev cluster. The hosts are configured to obtain their networking configuration via DHCP. Which condition would…

Setting the Boot Server Host Name to the TFTP server is the correct procedure for DHCP option 66 in an Auto Deploy environment and would not prevent hosts from receiving a DHCP address.

A DHCP scope that is too small would only prevent some hosts from obtaining addresses once the pool is exhausted, not all 10 hosts simultaneously from the first request.

A short DHCP lease duration causes frequent renewals but does not prevent a client from receiving an initial valid DHCP address lease.

The BIOS DHCP File Name (DHCP option 67 - bootfile name) tells the PXE client which file to retrieve from the TFTP server to begin the Auto Deploy boot process. If this value is incorrectly entered, the PXE ROM cannot locate the correct boot file, causing the network boot handshake to fail before networking is fully configured, which explains why all 10 hosts uniformly fail - it is a single shared misconfiguration on the DHCP server affecting every host equally.
