[ INTERVIEW QUESTION ] ESXi profile in strict lock-down mode.

Impressive answer! What if we put security profile of ESXi in strict lockdown mode? This is your best answer... In strict lockdown mode, the DCUI service is stopped. If the connection to vCenter Server is lost and the vSphere Web Client is no longer available, the ESXi host becomes unavailable unless the ESXi Shell and SSH services are enabled and Exception Users are defined. Whoever is asking will be impressed if you also mention...

I can select normal lockdown mode or strict lockdown mode, which offer different degrees of lockdown. vSphere also introduces the Exception User list. Exception users do not lose their privileges when the host enters lockdown mode.
