Full set: 89 questions

D: There is more than 1 active snapshot on the golden image. Correct answer

F: The wrong Guest OS Version was selected when creating the golden image.

Correct Answer:

B. No snapshot was made after optimizing the golden image.; C. Enable Windows Server desktops is not set.; D. There is more than 1 active snapshot on the golden image.

Explanation

VMware Horizon has specific requirements for VMs to be selectable as golden images: (1) The VM must have exactly one snapshot - no more, no less; (2) If using Windows Server OS, the pool/farm must have Windows Server desktops enabled; (3) The VM must have a snapshot present. These three conditions directly control visibility in the golden image selection list.

Why Incorrect

A. Optimization doesn't affect golden image list visibility.
E. CD-ROM configuration is not a selection requirement.
F. Guest OS version mismatch doesn't prevent list appearance.
