• Cannot add permissions for users Active Directory - the directory access error

  Hi all

  VCenter, connected as long as user with administrator privileges on the server, Active Directory running I am can be used to add permissions for domain accounts and just get errors:

  Right-click on the data center & gt; Add authorization & gt; Select read-only & gt; Add users and groups & gt; Select the domain & gt; (the list is NOT populated with users)

  Among users, enter my account of user AD & gt; Click on check names & gt; "The following names are not found: xxx".

  Enter the AD user account in the search box & gt; Click Search & gt; "A general system error occurred: directory access error.

  The only son I can find or KB articles relate to the modification of the period of Active Directory.  I did, but it did not help.

  http://communities.VMware.com/thread/14150

  http://KB.VMware.com/kb/1010094

  Any ideas why I can't delegate permissions? I do not think we have group policies that are resticting access, but I don't know which of the log files I should I seek to find the real problem.

  Thank you

  Windows Server 2003 R2 Standard Edition, vSphere Client 4.0.0 build 162856, vCenter Server 4.0.0 build 162856, ESXi 4.0.0 build 181792

  The problem that I had was related to what service vCenter services were running as.  No doubt during the installation (for some reason that escapes me now) I had configured the VMware VirtualCenter Server and VMware VirtualCenter Management Web services run under the local administrator account.  Change these so they ran as system Local solved the problem, and then I have a list of domain users and assign them permissions.

• Script to join the domain, the role of configuration, add permissions and activate/SNMP configuration

  So I'm writing a script to install our vSphere hosts to work with our monitoring software.  Right now, it's all done by hand and I would like if possible to automate it.  So far, I came up with this.  I get to step 5 and that's where it fails.  I can get it manually run the Get-VIAccount command, but in the script, it fails.

  These are my steps

  1. connect to an existing host and retrieve role properties.

  2. connect to the new host

  3 join the domain.

  4. disconnect the new host and reconnect with the credentials of domain

  5. get the domain account, role of research/create and add permissions to host

  6. enable and configure SNMP

  7 restart MGMT officers.

• How to add permissions for a specific to multiple ESX Servers AD account

  Hello

  I would add host authorization for a specific to about 100 guests ESXi AD account.

  I could add the authorization for a single host.

  New-VIPermission-role role - main ADAccountname - entity ESXhostname

  Disconnect VIServer ESXihostname

  Now I need to run this in a loop of 100 servers

  You can try with the SDK method?

  $adName = "domain\user".

  $roleName = "Admin".

  $esx = get-VMHost-name $esxName

  $authmgr = get - see $esx. ExtensionData.Client.ServiceContent.AuthorizationManager

• After joining the Server Appliance Center virtual domain, you can see domain when you add permissions user

  Hello

  Help, please!

  section of the knowledge base on the particular issue is not the problem.

  Just deployed the vCSA 5.5 and joined to a Windows domain but I do not see the field to add AD groups because in my view, there is a question hour DST GMT.

  My domain controller Windows are running in UTC with Daylight Saving Time (UTC).  IM in the United Kingdom.

  If I connect directly to an ESXI host using the vSphere Client - time is correct and shows "the dates and times of hospitality have been translated into the local time of the vSphere Client.

  
  

  If I run the command on the Console of the vCSA date, time is one hour behind so out of sync with the domain controllers.  If it was winter, probably all work.

  
  

  No idea how to fix this?

  
  

  Thanks in advance.
  

  Can confirm you that you have done the following:

  • Join vCenter Server Appliance to the domain, i.e. the AD object is created in the "Computers" OR
  • Add the AD as an additional Source of identity domain using "Active Directory (Windows integrated authentication)"

  and you can not yet select the domain in the drop-down box when you try to configure permissions?

• Best way to add permissions to a shared data store?

  I have an application (Replay), who must be able to restore a computer to an ESX virtual.  She is aware of vCenter and uses it to identify hosts and data warehouses, but he wants then SSH to that host, mkdir on a data store directory, then copy the vm disk data.  Operations of connection and files are unattended.

  
  I created a user on a host ESX 4.1 but that the user has no rights to create a directory on the data store.  I want to be careful to apply permissions because this data store is shared storage between this group and there are production virtual machines running on it.  I don't want to enable the root user access SSH and I don't want the root password is known other demand for proofreading business owners.

  I already tried to add this new user directly on the host, allowing SSH access to it, adding that user to the Administrator role on the ESX using the vSphere client.  I thought that would be enough to allow file operations, but when the user account wants to mkdir there is an access denied error.

  Can anyone recommend a solution?

  Thank you

  Scott

  I would check your permissions on the host computer by using 'su - username'.  Once you are connected as long as user, try to create a directory in the subdirectory appropriate off/vmfs/volumes.

  If it fails, look this user permissions in the folder datastore ("/ vmfs/volumes/datastorename he 's").  In my case, all files owned by user root and group root.  However, by default, permissions are 755 therefore belonging to a group of "root" will not help because the members of the group is not write.  If you can, I test this on a non-essential data store and change the permissions of the directory data store itself be 775 (rwxrwxr-x).

  In addition, if the default group for the user is not root, but users or something else, the new directories in the data store will be created with a bad group membership unless you change the variables in the shell of the user.  I simplify this by ensuring that the default group for the user is 'root '.

  I don't think your NFS here login account.  The data store is read/write to this host and guests and the locking takes place on a basis by the host to the data store subdirectory level.

  I hope this helps.

• Shell ESX or MS Powershell script to add permissions to the user host account

  I have this command "Add a user" ESX 3.5 service console...

  You know the command to give this user 'Read only' "permissions" of the "ESX Server"?

  The attachment shows where the permissions of the user (in this case Akorri) have been added to the GUI of the VIC connected to the ESX host.

  Even better... You have a PowerShell Script to add users and permissions?

  You must use a shell script to modify the etc/vmware/hostd/authorization.xml file. I have yet to see a powershell script that can make these changes for you, but you could check in PowerGUI.

  Hello

  Ok...

  1 - first of all, I created a new list template (through the shared components, lists) based on a copy of the existing model "Vertical unordered list with bullets" - I called a "vertical non ordered list» new with chips with comments I changed only TWO parameters in this new model:

  Current model list:

  <li><a href="#LINK#">#TEXT#</a> <span style="color:red">#A01#</span></li>
  

  Model list associated:

  <li><a href="#LINK#" style="color:#A01#">#TEXT#</a> <span style="color:red">#A01#</span></li>
  

  2 - I've updated my entries of the list to include text in the 'User-defined attributes' parameter number 1

  3 - I have edited the list definition to use my new model

  4. I also made sure my region of the page that contains the list using this new model - either by setting the model list to substitute "- use of the list template -" or "vertical unordered list with bullets with comments.

  And that's all I've done
