When developing a Microsoft Windows Server Operating System master image for use as a single-session host, there are certain steps that must be performed before installing the VMware Horizon Agent. Two of these steps are:

A. Install the Remote Desktop Services Role C. Install Service Pack 1 for Windows Server 2008 R2 or Windows Server 2012 R2

Let's discuss each of these steps in detail:

A. Install the Remote Desktop Services Role: The Remote Desktop Services (RDS) role is a required component for installing the VMware Horizon Agent on a Windows Server Operating System. The RDS role allows users to connect to a remote desktop session on the server. The VMware Horizon Agent requires this role to be installed so that it can function properly. Therefore, before installing the Horizon Agent, the RDS role must be installed.

C. Install Service Pack 1 for Windows Server 2008 R2 or Windows Server 2012 R2: Service Pack 1 (SP1) is a critical update for Windows Server 2008 R2 and Windows Server 2012 R2. It includes important security updates and performance enhancements that are necessary for a stable operating system. The VMware Horizon Agent requires a stable and up-to-date operating system to function properly. Therefore, before installing the Horizon Agent, SP1 must be installed.

It is worth noting that option B, "Verify that the Remote Desktop Services role is not installed," is not a correct answer. As mentioned earlier, the RDS role is a required component for installing the VMware Horizon Agent on a Windows Server Operating System. Therefore, it must be installed, not uninstalled. Option D, "Install the Microsoft IIS Service," is also not a correct answer. The Microsoft Internet Information Services (IIS) service is not required for installing the VMware Horizon Agent on a Windows Server Operating System.

In summary, before installing the VMware Horizon Agent on a Microsoft Windows Server Operating System master image for use as a single-session host, the administrator must install the Remote Desktop Services Role and Service Pack 1 for Windows Server 2008 R2 or Windows Server 2012 R2.
