Change the password for the Active Directory account that is running VMware VirtualCenter Server

We have an ESXi5.5 environment and I was instructed to change the password of the Active Directory account is used to run the VMware VirtualCenter Server Service.

There is a Data Source configured for a separate MS - SQL Server that is configured to use Windows authentication

I find the Article KB KB VMware: changing the vCenter Server database user ID and password

On the key: KEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\VMware, Inc., \VMware VirtualCenter\DB T HE for 2 and 3 values are empty

It is not quite clear to me if the vpxd.exe Pei command is necessary for our environment (service AD account and Windows authentication) or if it is only if SQL authentication is defined on the Data Source - would anyone have experience with this change and be able to clarify for me?

Thank you

Yes you are right,

but I would suggest to stop the services first before you do the activity, it can take the old password in a few times and lock the conduit to account

2. once the password is updated, make sure that the login account is updated (is currently running services on the specified user account or local account?)

If it runs using the specified account, you will need to updated and restart the services.

3. make sure that the services are running fine and observe for a while, the user account must not get locked.

Let me know if you have any other questions

  • The unit 3.1 (3) change of password for the Service account

    Hi all

    I am aware of the link and procedure on how to change the password of the service account of the unit 3.1 X here: http://www.cisco.com/en/US/customer/products/sw/voicesw/ps2237/products_tech_note09186a0080093f54.shtml#topic2

    My question is this. I have 5 unity servers that use this service account in any area, which includes Europe and the United States. If I change the password in AD all services will continue to work with the old password as long as they have not restarted with the old password? I know I need to change the password for each service that uses the account and then restart the unit, but since AD taking so long to reply, I was hoping to change the password of the account one day and then the next day or even longer when I have planned for my failure, I can then change the password for the services on each server and then restart the unit and make sure that replication is complete and the services start again with the new password.

    I think as long as I do not have to restart services can I change the password of the service account in AD a day or two before I schedule my outage can I change the password for all services, and then restart the unit. I know that I can force replication, but it would be nice to be able to change it in advance as long as it is not flexible, whatever it is. Even force the replication takes a lot of time in our environment and I want to be sure, can I change well in advance without having a negative impact.

    Thanks for your time!

    If you change a password for a domain account, it should respond immediately through the Organization as AD treats this with the highest coastal.

    Unless you fully active 'find my Mac' BEFORE that your mac has been stolen, it can't do anything for you now. It is not active, and there is no way to make it active after the fact.

  • 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)

    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.

  • change a password for the administrator

    I tried everything to change an administrator password, I need help

    If you are an administrator, you can change the password by...

    Start > Control Panel > Classic view > use of accounts > click on change your password...
    or
    Click account management > click the administrator account to change the password > change your password.

    However, If you are not an administrator, you cannot change admin password.

  • Creating cloud - BUG change the installation directory for applications

    I searched and could not find this similar post here

    http://forums.Adobe.com/message/5498967#5498967

    Who stated the issue I am experiencing.  In the program office cloud creative preferences, I changed the D drive installation directory because I have my main hard drive partitioned and programs would take too much space on C.  Whatever the change in preferences, applications were still installing on my C drive.  I tried to restart and reinstall and nothing seemed to work.

    Finally, I decided to reassign my D partition to C, I must still complete this because I'm waiting for all the data on D to be transferred to an external drive, so I can recombine it in C without losing any data (I don't know if this is necessary, I have not recombined partitions in the front operating system (, but just to be sure)

    IN ANY CASE

    As I am awaiting transfer (more 120gbs takes a while) I changed the installation directory in the preferences of creative cloud to C and went ahead and installed the program I wanted to before all this.  Guess what?  It is installed on my D drive!

    This isn't a serious bug for me, just incredibly boring and causing a lot of extra work on my part just to install the program I wanted to.  However for someone who requires a different install directory to and cannot reorganize their computer to take account of this bug, I could see that she is more serious.  If anyone else has had this problem and found a solution?  Thank you.

    Adobe PS rock you, I hope that your other programs CC feel not hurried to immediate as does your Installer

    Thanks for the update Julie.  It is information that you have been able to install applications for the location on the D: drive.  Shared resources and temporary installation files will continue to be on the C: drive.  Please maintain enough disk space on your drive to allow installation of the necessary updates.  In general, I'd recommend at least having double the amount of free space on your system drive, to the amount of physical RAM, you have installed on the computer.

    You can find the system requirements for Adobe applications, and an indication of the disk space required for installation, system required. Creative cloud.

  • How can I change my password for connection of Firefox? (Not the master password for the Firefox links saves itself)

    (1) how can I change my password for connection of Firefox? (Not my main password for things Firefox stores)
    (2) how can I change my password for connection of Thunderbird? (Not my master

    Just answer (Email removed by mod)

    You don't have to log in to Firefox. Firefox is just a browser, such as Internet Explorer. Everything you have to do is double-click it and open it. It's like Internet Explorer. If you have some sort of password extension protecting your Firefox, it's different and you need to contact the developer of the extension.

  • Problems of the change of password for my iMac

    I'm finishing the change of password for my iMac in early 2014 running on the latest version of El Capitan.

    When the opening up of the procedure is finished, I get a message in the upper right of the home screen of the iMac. The message says that I need to enter my new password to complete the amendment of the code of procedure. I can either click on "enter new password" or "delete" message. I tried to click on the two, but nothing happens except the message disappears.

    It's all quite strange that I have to use the new password to open the iMac for use and it recognizes the new password, if I try to change the password once more.

    Can someone tell what I am doing wrong or where I need to enter the password to complete the password change procedure. Thank you!

    This problem has not yet someone can help please?

    You can't do that without changing the code of Firefox program. Then you should consider other options.

  • How can I change the target directory for NOR-DAQ 6.9.3?

    I try to install NOR-DAQ 6.9.3 on a new laptop computer.  I tried to change the target directory, but the installer does not allow me to change it.  Is it possible to change the directory?

    When you say that the installation program does not let you change the directory target, you receive an error?  In my view, is it possible to change the target directory by selecting the feature in the feature tree, then by manually changing the target directory to the bottom of the installer.  When this is done, a pop up will occur who says a new folder will be created to save the files to.
