VMware Certified Professional - Data Center Virtualization (VCP-DCV) Practice Exam

Which setting is recommended to restrict Remote Console access for securing virtual machines?

1. Use Independent Non-Persistent virtual disks

2. Prevent use of Independent Non-Persistent virtual disks

3. Disable native remote management services

4. Configure external user access settings

The correct answer is: Disable native remote management services

Disabling native remote management services is a recommended approach to restrict Remote Console access for securing virtual machines. By disabling these services, you limit the possible entry points for unauthorized users to access the virtual machines through the console. This security measure is crucial in environments where sensitive data is processed or where compliance with regulations is necessary. When native remote management services are active, they can potentially expose the virtual infrastructure to security vulnerabilities, making it easier for attackers to gain unauthorized access. By disabling these services, you create a more secure environment, reducing the risk of exploitation. The other choices address different aspects of virtualization management and security that may not directly relate to Remote Console access or may serve different purposes. Independent Non-Persistent virtual disks, for instance, manage how data is stored and retained but do not specifically control access to the console. Similarly, configuring external user access settings pertains to managing access at a broader level rather than specifically addressing the security of Remote Console access.
