Join the ESXi server to the advantage of the AD domain?

Hello

What are the advantage of joining the 5.1 U1 to the Windows Active Directory domain ESXi hosts?

is it for the purpose of synchronization NTP?

I'm in the process of migration from the old WIn2k3 box NTP role in one of the virtual WIn2008R2 machine so I was wondering if this is the case.

Thank you.

Hello

NTP is one of the advantages of the machine of authenticated domain. Other benefits are the domain-wide authentication (you can connect as a user with elevated privileges, if you are the Member of preset "ESX Admins" domain group, but this name can be changed dynamically) and also VMware Update Manager relies on DNS resolution - you will not be able to update your guests without a reverse lookup.

  • Impossible to join a 2nd Server as a 2nd DC to a domain

    Hello world

    Thanks in advance for your help.

    I would like to set up a test lab, so I can experience on the upgrade of the area from 2003 to 2008 by adding a Server 2008 in a new remote site.

    Now I install a current version of VMWare Server (esx, not). I installed my first new domain controller for a new first domain on the server to the virtual machine. 'S called it Takami.com and DC installation with 192.168.1.2/24. The type of network to the virtual client is 'the bridge' - as some have suggested that NAT and HostOnly.

    DNS and WINS are also configured on the first domain controller. No errors, dns is good.

    Now I tried to add a domain controller 2003 2nd with ip 192.168.1.3 on the same server vm. But now he told me that he cannot join the domain. He told me the RPC server is unavailable and asked me to check section 5171.

    On the two server, they could ping each other, front and rear. Also, I tried to ping the domain of the server 2 takami. HE could he ping too!

    So what else do I need? Both servers are running with SP2.

    I hope you can help... Thanks a lot again!

    Takami Chiro

    With the exception of the DNS configuration on test-dc1, I don't see anything that you may have missed.

    Instead of 127.0.0.1, I would use the real IP for DNS (192.168.1.2).

  • Unable to join the computer Windows 7 the Windows Server 2008 R2 domain

    I'm at a complete loss here. I don't know if its something to do with this specific machine, or if something has changed on the side things server.

    A little history:

    I have joined two other machines to the domain about 3 weeks.

    Meanwhile, a machine has been infected by a ransomware. We completely removed all traces of infection of the machine network drives and mapped the proxy infected. The infected machine is used as a pointer for direct research. Could something have changed within the machine itself? Should I remove it?

    We have restored the mapped via a stored backup files.

    I do not know if somehow widespread infection among the mapped drives to records of service on the server itself change something along the way.

    Help would be greatly appreciated.

    You won't be able to go in ESXi. See http://communities.vmware.com/people/vmroyale/blog/2010/12/29/how-to-install-vendor-updates-on-server-hardware-running-esxi for a set of instructions, that you can use.

  • workstion 8 - cannot install 64-bit on the esxi Server vm

    I installed VMWARE WORKSTION 8.2 on my system after I installed Win7 64-bit.

    Then, I installed the server ESXI WORKSTION Version 5 469 512 on VMWARE WORKSTATION

    Now I'm running the server via VSPHERE CLIENT 5.

    Whenever I try to install a virtual system on the ESXI 64-bit version, it gives an error that the system is not supported and I can only use it for information.

    If I install the 64-bit version of virtual on my computer without problem systems, why I can not install on the ESXI SERVER ?

    Change the settings for the virtual machine for the VM ESXi.  On the processors tab, check the box next to 'Virtualiser VT-x/EPT or AMD-V/IVR.'  If your hardware supports this feature, you will be able to run embedded 64-bit clients.  For more information, see nested running VMs.

  • Export the VM of ESXi to 'not connected' ESXi Server using converter

    Hi all

    Sorry for the newbie question - I've seen a lot of messages about the export of a machine virtual workstation or player, etc, but I couldn't find one for my purpose.

    We need to export a virtual machine that was created on a server ESXi Server ESXi in another place that has no network connectivity between them using the converter v 4.01 Standalone (?). The idea is the following: export image, copy the files on USB key, send to a remote site, they will import image on their server ESXi (same version).

    What is the best way for me to do using the converter?  I thought that I could simply select the VMWare Infrastructure Server as a destination, but that seems to be an option only if you have the remote a plugged into the network.

    Does anyone have suggestions as to the export type that may possibly be more coherent than the others? That is to say; export as "vmware workstation or another vmware virtual machine" say vs "virtual appliance"?  Are just as reliable a prospect of import export and then?

    Thanks in advance!

    D

    If the two ESXi is the same version that you can do is go to the browser data store and download all the VMS in the USB drive and then go to Site 2 and upload is via the browser of data store. Browser for the .vmx and save the virtual machine.

    If you still want to use vmware converter to format of workstation converter so that the destination can be selected as USB key, then a workstation to vmware infrastructure in Site 2.

  • What are the methods to ESXi upgrade with 1 single ESXi Server?

    What options are left during a server ESXi 4.0 to ESXi 4.1? I can think of root direct-ssh access and the 'host Update Utiliy', even if that fails with errors.

    Sit behind your firewall router esxi, transfer 443 to esxi management IP and ensure that management network vmkernel has the internal IP address of router as its default gateway.

  • How to reset the ESXi Server?

    Hello

    We have two servers ESXi in vCenter, a ESXi server running a VM to openfiler that shares the data store local as iSCSI target that is mounted by the two server ESXi, for some reason any ESXi and vCenter no longer meets, and after connect you in ESXi via ssh, command df stuck, I suspect that they lost connection to openfiler web interface works always (said status current user 0).

    I'll reset ESXi servers? I tried to restart command, also stuck.

    You could try to restart with the option - f.   Or services.sh restart to see if it shakes things upward.  Something in particular by logging in var/log/messages?
