• Connection to the client with VSphere ESX host makes me download the old version of the VSphere client

  Welcome the OS Version: 5.1.0 - 2013

  Question: When I connect to my guests with the VSphere client it forces me to re-download the VSphere client. As you can see from the attached PDF there pretty much all installed versions. Yet, he's trying to go to vsphereclient.vmware.com to try to download again (which cannot because it is on a closed network). It is meaningless to me, as you can see I have all versions of the installed client. My boss who also has the same installed versions can connect. Actually, I installed 5.1 client so that should be enough. VSphere shows the host to 5.1.0 - 2013.

  Why is this not with my Vsphere client?

  Looks like your Client vSphere is version 5.1.0b (source: Match VMware vCenter 5.1 component Versions |) Virten.NET) and your ESXi host is version 5.1 Patch 4 (KB VMware: Products VMware correlating build numbers to update level )

  You need download the vSphere Client 5.1 update 2 version to directly connect to this host.

• Disable root for the vsphere client access

  Hello community VMWare,

  I have a need to disable the account root to be able to connect to a server from vsphere with the vsphere client. Is this possible?

  Thank you

  The simple vSphere Client permission can be manipulated with the authorization tab.

  Create a new user and delete permission to the user root.

  Or, if you have vCenter, just leave only the permission of vpxa.

• How can I delete a local account with the same name as the account online?

  I used my PC for a long time now using my account online, but has recently created a local account too. The original online account created a local folder with the name XXX_000 in the USERS folder.  Without thinking, I created a local account with the same account name name! (XXX_000). I realized my mistake, but I don't know how to remove the local account without removing all of the files for the account online! How can I remove the local account without affecting online account files?

  Do not try to remove the account from the folder.  To do inside the PC settings app and it should be good.

• How to create a user local administrator with the user root on the CV

  As says the tile, how to create a user local administrator with the user root on VCS-Express. I lost the password and cannot log in as an admin user, but I can't seem to log as long as user root.

  Once connect you with the root account, type in "tsh", from there, you can create the accounts of local administrators with 'xCommand AdminAccountAdd.  See the reference section of command of the VCS Administrator's Guide, starting on pg 517.

  If your VCS is a virtual machine, you can change the password of admin with vSphere, or if it is a hardware appliance, you can use the serial port, see pg 312 of the Administrator's guide.

• Need a powershell script to create a local user on esx given the esx server list box

  Hello

  I need a powershell script to create a local user on esx in a given list entry of esx servers through a csv spreadsheet. The script should ask me the user name and the password for the user name to be created on the given list of esx servers.

  Thanks in advance!

  Just noticed that there is a lack of vacuum after the - password parameter.

  It should be

  $userName = Read-Host "Username"
  $password = Read-Host "Password" -AsSecureString:$true
  Import-Csv "C:\vmhosts.csv" | %{
       Connect-VIServer -Server $_.Hostname -Credential (Get-Credential)
       New-VMHostAccount  -Id $userName -Password $password -UserAccount:$true -GrantShellAccess:$true -Confirm:$false
       Disconnect-VIServer -Confirm:$false
  }

• Impossible to connect to vCenter Server 5.5 using the vSphere Client

  Hello

  
  

  I'm trying to configure VMware Lab home using the link below and I have reached a stage where I need to connect to vCenter Server using the vSphere client.

  
  http://boerlowie.WordPress.com/2011/12/13/building-the-ultimate-vSphere-lab-part-9-ESXi/

  
  

  I installed the package of 5.5 full vCenter server using the simple installation option and it includes vCenter server, single sign - on, Webclient vSphere, vCenter server and vCenter Server inventory service. All the the latter is installed on a virtual machine that is running Windows server 2008 R2 guest OS.

  
  

  Whenever I try to open a session on the vCenter Server uses the vSphere client, one of the following error is displayed.

  
  

  1. you do not have the permissions to connect to the server 'vCenter server IP address.

  2. cannot complete the connection incorrect username or password-, this error is visible when I do not specify domain\username domain user name and simply enter the user name.

  
  

  For the details of the error, please see the screenshots - vSphere_client_1, vSphere_client_2 and vSphere_client_3.

  
  

  As suggested in the link below, I tried to create an SPN and then set the SPN (Principal of Service name) and the UPN (User Principal name) in the Active Directory identity Source using the web of vSphere client (please see screenshot vSphere_Webclient_2)

  
  

  http://vinfrastructure.it/2014/01/issue-in-logging-into-vCenter-server-using-Windows-ad-credentials/

  
  

  To fix the permission error, I tried to add the domain user to the Administrators group on the server vCenter (see screenshot vSphere_Webclient_1).

  
  

  However, none of the above-mentioned resolution has worked.

  
  

  So can someone please help? I am stuck because of this problem and badly need help to move forward.

  
  

  Thank you

• Help, I changed the password of root ESXi via powerCli, now I can not connect with the web client or the console.

  Help, I've changed the root ESXi via powerCli password, now I can not connect with the web client or the console, but I can still connect to powerCli. The command I used was;

  SE connect-VIServer esxihostname-user root - password newpasswd

  This production network btw, I have connected to each host and run the above command, these ESXi hosts are not on a domain

  y at - it something I have left out. I really appreciate any assistance that you people can provide.

  Thank you, Joe

  It is probably a longshot, but a lot of things in the land of windows is not sensitive to capital letters as Unix is.  I wonder if your new password you put through powerCLI mixed uppercase in it and if the capitalization was abandoned by command windows powerCLI Analyzer, or he interpreted as all capitals or something.   If you can still get through the powerCLI you could try to reset the password again to something simple without capitalization mixed case and if your password on ESXi strategy requires a special character, try something different than a "$", like a "_" (I find that a '_' is less likely than some other special characters (, as a '-' or a ' / ' to cause problems with analyzers.).

  Edit:

  Another thing, you can try before playing with the password once again, is to create a different username ESXi using powerCLI and see if the password ends up what you think, it should be, and if you can get with the client vsphere using it.  In this way, you can find out if there are some problems with certain characters or Cap through command powerCLI Analyzer without losing your remaining root by powerCLI access.  After some tests, you can understand what went wrong with your initial password change and may be able to fix it with less risk of losing access.  I also assume that you can not create a new username on ESXi who is able to change the root password no matter what authority give you it, otherwise, you could create a new username with PowerCLI, then connect to the client vsphere with it and change the password to root from there.

• Setting up a location of scrape persistent by using the vSphere Client

  Hello

  I have an application on behalf of data store when you configure the location scratch using vsphere client.

  This is the step that I have to perform to set up the scratch location and my query is

  I have to specify the name of the data store for step 10, as what I see through the vsphere client IE Datastore1 (vmfs/volumes/Datastore1/.locker - ESXHostname)

  OR

  What I need to specity the unique id that I am able to see in ESXi console that is to say 50060160c46036df50060160c46036df (/vmfs/volumes/50060160c46036df50060160c46036df/.locker- ESXHostname)

  What would be the effect? Configuration with the name of the data store for the vSphere client.

  You can configure the workspace for ESXi using the vSphere Client:

  1. Connect to vCenter Server or ESXi host using the vSphere Client.
     
  2. Select the ESXi host in the inventory.
     
  3. Click the Configuration tab.
     
  4. Click storage.
     
  5. Click a data store, and then select Browse.
     
  6. Create a directory named only for this ESX host (for example, .locker-ESXHostname )
     
  7. Close the browser to store data.
     
  8. Click Advanced under software settings.
     
  9. Select the ScratchConfig section.
     
  10. Change the configuration option to ScratchConfig.ConfiguredScratchLocation , indicating the full path to the directory.

      For example:

      / vmfs/volumes/DatastoreName /. Locker-ESXHostname

      
      
  11. Click OK.
      
  12. The ESXi host in maintenance mode and restart so that the configuration change to take effect.
      

  I ran a quick test on my test environment. You can safely enter data store, it will be automatically replaced by UUID data store when required restarting.

• How to create a local user for ESX Web Access?

  Hi, in my last post,

  http://communities.VMware.com/message/1444920#1444920 I enabled web access.

  But what is the best practice to create a temporary user directly on the esx to provide access of computer virtual via web access console?

  Thank you.

  You can have a configuration of the user for the local access to ESX and it will not be seen by vCenter.  ESX is not its userbase with vCenter synx.

  If you have vCenter, simply create a folder in your virtual machines and the view models, move the virtual machine in question in the newly created folder and add the AD account with permissions to this folder and assign a role.  You can then simply access the vCenter and all they will see, if the user does not have permissions anywhere elsewhere in your vCenter hierarchy, is the single guest.

  But, if you do not have vCenter you will need to create a local account on the ESX host

  Hope it makes sense.

• Task assignments auto exclusive Oracle BPM for users with the same roles

  Hi all

  We have a problem with the task in BPM assignment, lets say, we have a task which cannot be attributed to users with role X when the configuration of the task is set to auto request all users with the role of X may have the task in their task list, but we want it to be exclusive that an assignee if you have it No one can visit his profile at the task, then if we set config off auto claim with assignees must choose to claim the task but we do not want this, we want the tasks assigned automatically just to a transferee (for example at random)... can someone help us please?
  Best regards

  Hi Hadi,

  You can choose "Automatic entitlement to a single task" and the reason for the transfer

  

  You can also create a business rule to assign them to a user.

• VRA unable to create groups of companies with the same name in different tenants with vRO

  vRA 6.2.2 Build - 2754020

  vRO 6.0.1

  Through the vRA GUI I can create groups of companies with the same names in different tenants as follows:

  Tenant1: BusGroup1, BusGroup2, BusGroup3

  Tenant2: BusGroup1, BusGroup2, BusGroup3

  
  

  However, to create business groups with the same names in different tenants via the vRO, specifically the workflow plugin Library / vCloud Automation Center / Administration / Business groups / create a group of companies, fails in the second tenant with the below error:
  

  
  

  [42106] the specified condition is not respected for 'name '. (Name of the dynamic Script Module: createBusinessGroup #12)

  If I change the naming convention to be different by tenant, then I have no problem. I thought it might be a restriction in the product, but as said I was able to create with the names of same origin through the user interface.

  Anyone experience the same thing?

  This is a known problem within IaaS API the plugin vRO uses to manage groups of companies through business groups workflows. You don't have the same problem of the vRA UI because the user interface (according to the 6.x) does not use the same API IaaS to manage groups of companies.

  The only alternative to 6.x for now is to directly use the helper generic entity Manager plug-in itself. You can take a look at the first example in example CRUD Infrastructure tasks management Scripts.

  I hope it helps.
