I need to create a weekly report for the local accounts on the ESXi 5.5 servers.  ESXi all have a unique password that is stored in a secure database and is not scripted to to access the password; ESXi locking mode also.  What is the best way to generate a list of local accounts ESXi?  All ESXi are managed by vCenter.

Thank you

    I suspect that you posted your question to the wrong thread

    This requires only a minor change to the script above actually.

    Something like that

  • How to convert the local account to a Microsoft account?

    Help please. I'm trying to convert a local account log in on a Windows PC to a microsoft account so I can activate parental controls for my son. God knows why you can't control a local account not more. However, I do not get an option to convert - any help appreciated please.

    You should be able to do it by opening the PC Settings page and select "Accounts" (the fastest way there is in the start menu, click on the picture of the user and select ' edit photo account ").

    Just under the user name, you should see a link: "To connect to a Microsoft account" click on a link and follow the instructions.

  • I can map a network drive by using the appropriate credentials, but access is denied (by default local account for navigation)

    I have a laptop running XP SP3.  If I connect locally to the laptop and you try to map a network from a server drive on my network, it invites me for a username and password that I offer and the player must then be mapped.  The problem is that when I click on the new player, I get an access denied message.  It tries to connect to the share with my local account that has no access privileges.  Previously it tempt me a username and password, but apparently, I changed some security settings and it doesn't do this more.

    The same thing happens if I use the command net use.  I can map the drive by providing an appropriate user name and password, but I can't browse it in windows Explorer.  I really want to understand the context that controls if you get a prompt when you access a resource on the network.  I think that it is related to the setting of security strategy for network access: sharing and security for local accounts.  I played a bit with it, but in vain.

    I realize that I could probably add an account with the same username / password for my local account on the server and give access to my file shared.  I don't want to do that.  I have several users who share the laptop and access the local account access (I realize this is not ideal, but it is inevitable at the present time).  I don't want to have access to this network share.

    Can someone help me get my login prompt?  I searched on google for the last 2 days trying all kinds of suggested solutions, but I couldn't find one that works.

    Too bad... I was hoping that was the problem.  But at least it now asks you a name of user and password :-)

    Apart from that, you could look to make sure that NetBios over TCP (NetBT) is enabled on the client.  Deactivation of this force a direct hosting of SMB which sometimes has problems.

    "Hosting of SMB over TCP/IP direct".
    <>http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/204279 >

    Your latest comments seem to point to a followed initial connection or bad connect more or maybe you is not authenticated as expected.  A few quick tests, I did showed that if you connect using TCP/IP address instead of the computer name and specify everything, including the scope of user name online net "use", it reduces the network traffic needed to establish a connection.  As a test on a client, from a command prompt, try a syntax such as:

    NET use * \\192.168.1.10\share /user:192.168.1.10\username password

    Where "192.168.1.10" is the IP address of the server, 'share' is the name of the action that you want to connect to and "username" is the local user on the server to which you authenticate you.  If you use domain identification information, substutite for "192.168.1.10" domain name in the "/ user:" part.  If you log to a local account server from a name of user and password graphic prompt, try to including the name of the computer and the user name in the user name as in Nom_ordinateur\Nom_utilisateur area.  If it does not, unless there is really something wrong with the access permissions, I'm out of ideas.

    Good luck

  • Having bad connect to local account

    For professional Vista set up to connect to the field: I try to log on to a local administrator using the Nom_ordinateur\Nom_utilisateur account.  I get the message "there is currently no available connection server to process the logon request." Well Yes, no kidding, that's why I'm trying to log on locally.  Why it give me this message rather than attempting to authenticate using a local account?  What can I do to get connected locally?

  • How can I change a password for the local account of a pc that can not be connected remotely?

    Hi all

    I am currently based in London. I have a problem with the laptop of a staff based in Africa. We built the laptop and it shipped to them. As part of the construction, we put on our account standard administrator and then made a local account that they are not connected to our area.

    The user in this Africa Office has changed the local password of its account and now don't remember making it so the unable to connect to PC. I don't want to tell him our administrator password, because it is the same for all our PC in the world. I have studied a lot of things to try to connect to the computer, but it is now possible.

    I tried:

    1 navigation to the machine from another pc on the network using explroer and I see the C drive.

    2. I tried to run this command, but I get just error 1219: net use \\pcname\ipc$ / user: pcname\administrator *.

    3 RDP will not work, it will not just connect.

    4. the PC that I use is 8 Windows Home Edition and none of the business I've noticed is a problem of computer management doesn't have users and groups it seems. The remote pc is Windows 7 Enterprise.

    So for now I just a laptop that is stuck on the login screen.

    I guess I'm doomed then?

    No, you are not condemned. I gave you a recipe to solve your problem. Give the person a password for admin for a few minutes does not compromise the integrity of the machine, as long as you then reset the password in a few minutes.

    If this person can burn a CD repair system on another machine of Windows 7 then it can use to start the machine in Windows Repair Mode. From there it can use system restore to set up Windows to a point before he changed the password. You need to exercise on your own machine to guide him through the process.

  • Help, please! Impossible to pass local account for microsoft

    I got a Samsung ATIV smart PC 500 t as a gift today and I'm going to be very difficult to implement. I tried on and off for about 14 hours now without success.  Here is what happened:

    I've updated the PC software told me to. (there was a brochure stating that I needed to update before using my keyboard dock)

    I put the PC by using a local account, because for some reason, he said it was impossible to add my Microsoft account I created today specifically for this PC.

    I tried several times to switch to the Microsoft account and I get the error message

    "We're sorry, but something went wrong. your account has not been changed to this account from Microsoft.

    "Code: 0x800b0101.

    What does that mean? Why this is happening and what needs to be done to solve this problem?

    I also tried using the tiles, hoping maybe going this route would allow me access to my Microsoft account so that I can at least use the apps and what not.  When you try to open the store, I have this message: 'we are could not connect to the Bank. It could have happened due to a problem with the server or the network connect timed out. Please wait a few minutes and try again. "I also tried via the contacts, messages and weather applications. Whenever I get similar error messages.

    Obviously, I'm not very savvy, connect my internet computer works correctly, I am able to access the various web pages (even if I get a warning message of security for each of them, which is very annoying).

    Anyway, I can't understand this. Does anyone have a tip or useful information? Can I use my PC.

    Passage of the account Microsoft local account will not affect your personal documents saved on the computer.

    It would be useful that you could provide more information on the problem faced with synchronization.

    c. click on connections.

    d. click on LAN settings.

    e. remove the check mark next to proxy server.
