In this challenge, you will configure new VMware ESXi hosts and a new VMware vCenter Server. First, you will configure the management network interfaces on multiple ESXi hosts, and then you will create a virtual datacenter and add the ESXi hosts to be managed. Next, you will create license keys and assign them to assets, and then you will join a vCenter server to an Active Directory domain. Finally, you will configure the identity source and assign an Active Directory user to the vCenter server Administrators group, and then you will create a file-based backup of a vCenter server. Note: Once you begin a challenge you will not be able to pause, save, or return to your progress. Please ensure you have set aside enough time to complete the challenge before you start.
