Supported Virtual Machine Types

C.

When cloning an Automated Desktop Pool from an existing pool, the type of virtual machines that the pool can contain depends on the type of virtual machines that the existing pool contains.

• A. RDS desktops: This option is not applicable because an Automated Desktop Pool is used to create and manage virtual desktops, not Remote Desktop Session (RDS) desktops.
• B. Manual desktops: An Automated Desktop Pool cannot contain manual desktops, as it is designed to create and manage virtual desktops automatically.
• C. Linked clones: If the existing pool contains linked clones, the new Automated Desktop Pool will also contain linked clones. Linked clones share a common base image and use differencing disks to store changes made by the user. This approach reduces the amount of storage required for each virtual machine and simplifies management.
• D. Instant clones: If the existing pool contains instant clones, the new Automated Desktop Pool will also contain instant clones. Instant clones are similar to linked clones but are created and destroyed on demand. They provide a fast and efficient way to provision and manage virtual desktops.

In summary, the answer to the question is either C. Linked clones or D. Instant clones, depending on the type of virtual machines in the existing pool.
