In VMware Cloud Foundation 9.0, password changes mademanually on an NSX Edge Transport Nodearenot automatically synchronizedwith VCF Operations. VCF Operations maintains secure credential records for all managed components, including NSX Manager appliances and NSX Edge Transport Nodes. When credentials become stale—such as after a password expiration and manual reset—VCF Operations marks the credential object asout of syncand requires administrative remediation.

The official workflow described in VCF 9.0 Operations documentation states that administrators must use the“Remediate Password”function whenever a password was changed outside of VCF Operations, ensuring that the platform revalidates and updates the stored credentials used for monitoring, log collection, and automation tasks. Options such as “rotate,” “sync,” or “update” do not apply because rotation implies generating a new password managed by VCF, and “sync” does not overwrite the stored credential. Only remediation forces VCF Operations to re-validate and align credentials with the external system.

Therefore, after manually resetting the NSX Edge admin password, the administrator must perform passwordremediationin VCF Operations to restore operational consistency, makingBthe correct and verified answer.
