You are provisioning a virtual machine's SCSI adapter for installation with Windows 10. What SCSI adapter type should you use for performance reasons?

The LSI Logic SAS type, because it uses a serial interface.

You have restored a snapshot on a VMware Workstation 12 Pro based virtual machine, only to discover that after reverting, an independent disk has not been reverted. What is the issue?

The disk is set to non-persistent mode, data stored on it is lost when the VM is powered down.

What is the purpose of the NX/XD CPU feature present in most modern Intel and AMD processors?

The feature adds a layer of security by marking areas of memory as non-executable.

The hypervisor

You are working in a VMware vSphere based environment, and have been asked to create a parent virtual machine that can be shared amongst many users. One of the requirements of this desired setup is that individual user changes must be kept separate. What is the best implementation based on the requirements given?

The parent virtual machine should be configured to make use of linked clones.

What is used to facilitate the use of virtual machine dynamic memory?

The smart paging file, which is normally located in the same directory as the virtual machine configuration files.

While using a linked clone, what option should be enabled to ensure the parent or snapshot is not deleted or changed?

The template option should be enabled on the parent.
