An administrator is attempting to add a vCenter Server to View Administrator in order to add View Composer.
Which three prerequisites are necessary prior to adding the vCenter Server to View? (Choose three.)
A.
Configure the View Pairing Password.
B.
Install an SSL certificate on vCenter Server.
C.
Install the View Connection Server product key.
D.
Configure a vCenter Server user with correct permissions.
E.
Configure a View Composer user with correct permissions.
The correct answwer is B – D – E
C is not right, ther is no View Connection Server Product key
Actually, I would think C is a valid answer. Only product keys for View Premier edition are entitled to use the View Composer functions.
Also, you can use the same user account that you use for vCenter server registration, as long as the user account has the appropriate credentials on AD.
According to the Mock Exam, this answer is not BDE and it is also not CDE.
The correct answer on the Mock Exam is BCD
Correct
Prerequisites
■Install the View Connection Server product license key.
■Prepare a vCenter Server user with permission to perform the operations in vCenter Server that are necessary to support View Manager. To use View Composer, you must give the user additional privileges. To manage desktops that are used in local mode, you must give the user privileges in addition to those that are required for View Manager and View Composer.
See Configure a vCenter Server User for View Manager, View Composer, and Local Mode.
■If you plan to have View Connection Server connect to the vCenter Server instance using a secure channel (SSL), install a server SSL certificate on the vCenter Server host.

You have to read the questions literally. It’s only really asking…
Which three prerequisites are necessary prior to adding the vCenter Server to View?
Configuring a View Composer user with correct permissions is not something you need to do in that case. The first part of the question is just there to confuse.

Add vCenter Server Instances to View Manager
You must configure View Manager to connect to the vCenter Server instances in your View deployment. vCenter Server creates and manages the virtual machines that View Manager uses as desktop sources.
If you run vCenter Server instances in a Linked Mode group, you must add each vCenter Server instance to View Manager separately.
View Manager connects to the vCenter Server instance using a secure channel (SSL).
Prerequisites
■
Install the View Connection Server product license key.
■
Prepare a vCenter Server user with permission to perform the operations in vCenter Server that are necessary to support View Manager. To use View Composer, you must give the user additional privileges. To manage desktops that are used in local mode, you must give the user privileges in addition to those that are required for View Manager and View Composer.
For details about configuring a vCenter Server user for View Manager, see the VMware Horizon View Installation document.
■
Verify that an SSL server certificate is installed on the vCenter Server host. In a production environment, install a valid SSL certificate that is signed by a trusted Certificate Authority (CA).
In a testing environment, you can use the default certificate that is installed with vCenter Server, but you must accept the certificate thumbprint when you add vCenter Server to View.
■
Verify that all View Connection Server instances in the replicated group trust the root CA certificate for the server certificate that is installed on the vCenter Server host. Check if the root CA certificate is in the Trusted Root Certification Authorities > Certificates folder in the Windows local computer certificate stores on the View Connection Server hosts. If it is not, import the root CA certificate into the Windows local computer certificate stores.
See “Import a Root Certificate and Intermediate Certificates into a Windows Certificate Store” in the VMware Horizon View Installation document.
■
Verify that the vCenter Server instance contains ESXi hosts. If no hosts are configured in the vCenter Server instance, you cannot add the instance to View.
■
Familiarize yourself with the settings that determine the maximum operations limits for vCenter Server and View Composer. See Concurrent Operations Limits for vCenter Server and View Composer and Setting a Concurrent Power Operations Rate to Support View Desktop Logon Storms.
