Add the Active Directory group to the ESXi host permissions

I am trying to add a group of ads as an administrator directly to an ESXi host (not in vCenter).  I tried to use the following code:

$domain = "mydomain".

$group = "mygroup".

$svcaccount = $domain + "\" + $group

$folder = get-file-name "ha-folder-root".

$authMgr = get-View Manager

$perm = new-Object VMware.Vim.Permission

$perm.principal = $svcaccount

$perm.propagate = $true

$perm.group = $true

$perm.roleid = ($authMgr.RoleList | where {$_.}) ({Name - eq "Admin"}). RoleId

$authMgr.SetEntityPermissions (($folder |)) Get - View). MoRef, $perm)

I get the following error:

You can not call a method on a null value expression.

$authMgr.SetEntityPermissions < < < < (($folder |)) Get - View). MoRef, $perm)

When it is connected to ESX the Manager Id is "Manager-ha-authmgr" you may not use the shorter expression of Get-View:

$authMgr = Get-View AuthorizationManager

The safe way to get the Manager display is via ServiceInstance object:

$si = Get-View ServiceInstance
$authMgr = Get-View $si.Content.AuthorizationManager

Kind regards

  • Active Directory groups can be put into service in the FDMEE places?

    Hi experts FeeDMEE:

    We are upgrading to HFM/FDMEE 11.1.2.4.    We would like to use only the Active Directory groups for our security in Shared Services.

    I did a lot of audit looking at whether we can use security location FDMEE ad groups.  So far, the only way I found to make the security location uses the native approach (settings / security settings / security location...) Security by location, click on keep usergroup to set up groups).    But it doesn't seem to be an option if you create groups such as native or ad groups (FDMEE them creates only natively).

    Does anyone know if it is possible in FDMEE to use security of the location ad groups?

    Thank you
    Mark Smith

    I discovered that it is more possible for FDMEE create Aboriginal groups for the security of the location.

    However, Active Directory groups can be added as members of indigenous groups.   In this way, users should only be added to Active Directory groups.    The only maintenance is to add or remove groups active directory to or from the indigenous groups of FDMEE.

  • Administrator rights to the ACS using Active Directory groups

    Good afternoon

    We must be able to use administrative accounts for our device ACS who reside in an Active Directory group, if possible.  If this is not possible, what other safer options would we be able to use (RADIUS authentication or authentication RSA 2)?

    Thanks in advance

    You can only use the locally stored accounts within the ACS.

  • Add the model mv directly from the ESXI host

    Hi gentlemen,

    I have a question:

    Is it possible to add a model from the ESXI host without using VCENTER?

    I browse to the data store and I select Add to the broom, but I get an error.

    Sort of to reach it without using VCENTER?

    The models are a unique feature of vcenter. You can try renaming the vm vmxt vmx file, this would allow to add the file as a virtual machine, not model.

    But anyway, you will not be able to use to deploy from model or the options you have for cela vcenter.

  • Portal administrators from Active Directory groups

    I want to add additional users with the status of "admin", so that more people can use the "Admin Console". I want to do this using Active Directory groups.

    Can anyone say if this is possible and how?


    Maybe it's in the documentation, but I couldn't find it.

    For now, it is not possible to assign the Admin role to a group of users. However, you can promote individual users to the Administrator role. You can search for a user name and click on the user name to view the details of a user. On the left side, you will see a role (s) and the 'User' text is clickable. When you click on that text you will be able to change the role.

  • Create new vCenter and move the ESXi hosts

    Hello

    I created a new vCenter vCenter apparatus using ISO 6.

    The deployment went well and I have all the installation program. I would now like to move hosts our old vCenter to new ESXi.

    I was reading this article to start the moving process.

    When I try to disconnect the host I get the message below

    vcenter6_hostmove_001.png

    In the article in the link above it is written that it will not affect the State of the virtual machine running on the host.

    If I click on 'Yes' here, it will automatically put the host in maintenance mode?

    I prefer not to do it if I can avoid it because I don't want to have to evacuate all virtual machines running on the esxi host.

    Wouldn't it be better if I disabled it HA first? Then try to move hosts? Or I'm sure to sign-out and the subsequent removal?

    Thank you

    See you soon

    Hello

    You must put your server in maintenance as a first step mode, then unplug and remove the server. It will work.

    If it doesn't work, disable temporary HA and remove your host of the VC.

  • VM doesn't qutoboot upward after the restart of the ESXi host

    Hi all

    I environment, there is only a single Cluster. The Cluster has an ESXi host. all virtual machines including vCenter VM are resides on the ESXi host. When I reboot the host can all VM does not start?

    For comparison, there is a different environment, there are two Clusters (Cluster 1 and Cluster 2) in vCenter, Cluster 1 has two hosts ESXi Cluster 2 has only a single ESXi host. vCenter runs on the ESXi host residing in Cluster1.

    When I reboot the host residing in Cluster2, all virtual machines may start automatically.

    is that any expert can explain the difference? Why single environment can auto boot VMs when both of these environment has a host to the Cluster and cluster activate HA service?

    environments are executed at the ESX5.5.

    You will need to check the box allow VMS to start and stop automatically with the host system and then change the setting on the edit tab, and mention what needs to be done for each machine.

  • Displaying output on the ESXi host?

    It may be a stupid question but just wanted to be sure. I have ESXi running a desktop PC with a cluster of virtual machines configured. The PC has a screen attached to VGA. This means that I see the ESXi etc host configuration screen.

    I can remote into the MV from my computer laptop etc, no problem, but I would like to be able to use the screen. So is it possible to show a virtual machine on this screen, rather than the ESXi host / console?

    The short answer is no, this is not possible.

  • 6.0 ESXi host Active Directory Group authentication works in the hull but no client

    Got a weird here.

    Add 6.0 host vSphere to Active Directory.

    Added a group of pub with the Administrator role.

    I can authenticate with an AD user account that is a member of this group of ads, using SSH or Shell access.

    I cannot authenticate with an account AD who is a member of this group of ads using the Web UI or Client vSphere linking directly to the host.

    If I add the domain user directly with the role of administrator on the host computer permissions, the Web GUI and vSphere Client will be authenticate using the user of the AD.

    What it looks like access using SSH/Shell, vSphere host can burst of belonging to a group and to authenticate, but using the GUI Web or vSphere Client he can't.  There are not a lot of sense to me.

    The hostd.log file has nothing in it which is very informative, just a line saying "status: success accepted password for the user", followed by the event 131: could not connect the user without permission.

  • Firepower does not work when using the Active Directory group as a rule filter access control

    I am PoV of Cisco ASA with the power of fire with my client. I would like to integrate the power of fire to MS Active Directory. Everything seems to work properly.

    -Fire power user agent installation to complete successfully. Connection to AD work fine. The newspaper is GREEN.

    -J' created a Kingdom in FireSight and you can download users and groups from Active Directory.

    -J' created a politics of identity with passive authentication (using the field I created)

    -Can I use the AD account "user" as a filter in access control rule and it work very well.

    However, if I create the rule of access control with AD Group', the rule never get match. I'm sure that the user that I test is a member of the group. Connection event show the system to ignore this rule and the traffic is blocked by the default action below. It doesn't look like the firepower doesn't know that the user belongs to the group.

    I use

    -User agent firepower for Active Directory v2.3 build 10.

    -ASA 5515 software Version 9.5 (2)

    -Fire version 6.0.0 - 1005 power module

    -Firepower for VMWare Management Center

    Any suggestion would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

    Hello

    You should check the download user under domain option. Download the users once belonging to a group is specified on the ad and then test the connection.

    Hello, nareshunik-

    Thanks to the handy Get-VMHostService cmdlet, you can quite easily get this info:

    Get-VMHost | Get-VMHostService | ?{"TSM","TSM-SSH" -contains $_.Key -and $_.Running} | Select VMHost,Key,Running
    

    The result is something like:

    VMHost    Key      Running
    ------    ---      -------
    myHost01  TSM         True
    myHost02  TSM         True
    myHost05  TSM         True
    myHost05  TSM-SSH     True
    

    TSM is the local service of TSM or "ESXi Shell", and the TSM - SSH service is "SSH".  How does do for you?

  • Strategy of Kerberos WinServer2008r2 Active Directory group

    Hi all

    Need help bad in this. I'm trying to implement kerberos on my active directory. What I understand is kerberos is the default and the primary authentication protocol used when connected to a domain, but where and how do I configure kerberos settings in group policy? I managed to find configurations of kerberos in the "Local Group Policy Editor", but this would not push configurations to my clients right?

    I want to disable NTLM authentication as well and once again I can found under local policies > security options, but they are all local policies right? Is it possible that I can disable NTLM on my active directory and ensure that these settings are applied to my both client computers?

    Thank you so much in advance!
    PS: Sorry if I got some of my facts wrong, I'm a student performs internship and my understanding in active directory is not as strong.
