Which two statements are true for a vCenterServer user account that is used for vSphere Data Protection
(VDP)? (Choose two.)
A.
The user account must be assigned with Administrator role.
B.
The password for the user account cannot contain spaces.
C.
The user account should be created in the Single Sign-On domain
D.
The user account cannot inherit required permissions from a group role.
Explanation:
For the vCenter server account used for vSphere data protection, the user account must have administrator
role and the password for the user account should not contain spaces.

61.pdf
It think it’s A and D.
Spaces in PW are mentioned in the document, but it is related to domain accounts only.
‘Before the vCenter user account can be used with VDP, or before the SSO admin user can be used with VDP, you must add these users as administrator on the vCenter root node. Users who inherit permissions from group roles are not valid.’

Agree. A and D is correct. No spaces is requirement for domain accounts in vSphere.

AD are correct. B is wrong, as it only refers to domain accounts and not Vcenter accounts.

A) Page 24
B) Page 25
It cannot be “The password for the user account cannot contain spaces” because this is related to domain accounts and the answer option does not comment if is this kind off.

on the same page says:
NOTE In high-security environments, you can restrict the vCenter user account permissions required to
configure and administer the VDP appliance. The account permission categories are listed in “Minimum
Required vCenter User Account Permissions” on page 195.
so, administrator is not a “requirement”

A and B, sorry for the typo

Not really a typo, the document confirms A, B & D.
Must add as administrator, directly followed by cannot inherit from group role, and cannot contain spaces on the next page.
Annoying…

Hold on, upon further reading, it seems the “no spaces” requirement is only for Windows-domain user accounts, not SSO domain users. So if I can only pick 2, I’d go with A&D after all.
