A VM unexpectedly reboots without any user action. Which log or diagnostic source would most likely provide evidence of a guest OS-initiated reboot?

VMware ESXi host log (vmkernel.log)

VMware Tools log (vmtoolsd.log)

Guest operating system system log (e.g., Windows Event Log or syslog)

A VM cannot communicate with other VMs on the same VLAN. The VM's vNIC is connected to a port group. What should you check first?

The VM's IP address configuration.

The port group's VLAN ID and the vNIC's connection state.

A VM's guest OS is reporting a 'blue screen' (BSOD) and the VM is unresponsive. In the vSphere Client, the VM's status shows 'Running', but the guest OS is not responding to ping. What is the most likely cause?

The VM's VMware Tools is not running, so the guest OS is not responding.

The VM's virtual disk is full, causing the guest OS to stop responding.

The VM's guest OS has crashed, but the VM is still powered on.

The VM's CPU is over-committed, causing the guest OS to hang.
