An administrator is deploying a VCSA and needs to ensure it uses the corporate NTP servers for time synchronization. During the deployment, where should this be configured?

In the ESXi host's NTP configuration

In the SSO domain settings during deployment

In the 'Configure time synchronization' step of the VCSA installer

In the vSphere Web Client after deployment under 'Time Settings'

Which method is used to replace a certificate for an ESXi host in vSphere?

Using the vSphere Client to refresh the certificate

Using the ESXi host's BIOS settings

Using the vCenter Server's NTP configuration

Using the vSphere Web Client's SSO settings

An administrator has attached a baseline to a cluster in vSphere Lifecycle Manager (vLCM). They want to check if the ESXi hosts are compliant with the baseline before applying updates. What should they do?

Check the compliance status in the vSphere Web Client

Run a scan against the cluster to check compliance

Remediate the cluster immediately

What is the first step in restoring vCenter Server from a file-based backup?
