• customization of the Linux root password

  Is there anything in the API to customize the root password in a vm Linux in the same way the Windows admin password can be defined?

  Unfortunately, this is not possible with what is available in Linux prep, guestOSes Linux/UNIX is 2nd to Windows in the world of VMware and I hope that this will change sooner rather than later

  What you can do as a work-around if you have or plan to install VMware Tools when the customer is put into service, is to have a default password and then use something like VMware VIX API to change the password or download a new hash of password. It is not ideal, but which as automated you can get today or by default available your host with the right password.

• What should I do on vCenter vSphere Web Client after you change the host root password?

  Hello

  When we implemented vCenter our Organization, we used a regular password to the account 'root' on each ESXi host.

  So, I installed vCenter and added the hosts on it to manage.

  When I added them, they've asked for the root password power connect.

  Ok. Everything was fine.

  Now, we want to change the password to root for each ESXi host.

  My question is: what should I do to make sure that vCenter will always be able to connect to the ESXi hosts, because the account used to connect the first time change his password?

  My question is: what should I do to make sure that vCenter will always be able to connect to the ESXi hosts, because the account used to connect the first time change his password?

  Nothing, after the host is added to vCenter, a user named vpxuser is created automatically on the ESXi host and vCenter uses this user to connect and manage the host.

• Question - change the stupid root passwords

  
  I use the same passwords for root for too long to my vm hosts and need to change to improve safety.    The hosts are all added in Vcenter and clustered.    If I change the root password of the individial hosts, is what it's going to break the bond of vcenter?    I know that you type in passwords for root when connecting host to vcenter, but then it installs vpxuser, then I guess it should not occupy root changes after that.   I just wanted to confirm with someone who did this recently.

  (5.0 and 5.1 with Vcenter 5.1 ESXi)

  Hello

  No, the root passwords change does not affect the vCenter.  No link will be broken. It authenticates just the first time that you add the vCenter Server inventory.

  You even change passwords on multiple hosts in a row only to avoid the hassle of Power-Cli scripts.

• How to create the default recovery disc factory with OneKey Recovery 4.0

  I have a K430 and before I use it (as with any machine, I bought) I wanted to make my recovery disks.

  Throughout this site there are guides to do this with version 7, but this desktop computer has version 4.0 of OKR

  I can record an image of my partition system but need the ability to install on a clean hard disk in case of hard drive failure.

  I have checked the forums and Kb and been through programs of Windows 8, but nothing shows me the right way.

  This is compounded by the fact that none of my imaging tools drive as the drive Seagate, which was delivered in this machine (Ghost4Linux, CloneZilla, Acronis Migrate Easy)

  Where is my option create said support?

  Just to close this one.

  I talked to the customer on the phone this post having remained unanswered,

  There is no recovery disc to buy or to create for this machine, should so hard drive failure you need to source your own discs.

  This machine will be returned now, a lost for the sake of a DVD sale.

  I must say the guy who talked on the phone was really helpful and courteous, unfortunately hampered by the policy of the company.

• Can I change the root password in VoP Server Explorer?

  Hello

  I was encouraged to see VoP Server Explorer, but my network does not have any system to have a default root password. Can I change the root user password?

  Thank you!

  Jennifer Flanagan

  Altogether.  Just connect to the console as root and type 'passwd' to change the root password.  Be sure to keep track of what you set, because there is little recourse except in single-user mode if it goes astray.

• Change the root password interactively

  Hello
  I want to change the password of root interactively using a configuration script, where I change many more parameters, without specifying the new root password in the configuration script.
  I would like the script to give me a chance to type the password to myself.
  Something like when you started a new cmd session in a .bat script using the cmd /c
  Thank you

  Take a look at this script and see if the way they work for you: http://communities.vmware.com/thread/412623

• Cisco VCS: You can change the root within the TSH Admin password?

  I know you can reset password "admin" to root, by running the tsh, but you can change the 'root' password in the 'admin' tsh?

  Hi David,

  No you can not change it until and unless you follow the documented procedure to reset the password using console.

  However, you can go to t-root shell using the command 'tsh' and set up a new admin account, then log into the VCS GUI admin with new administrator and reset the password for the default Administrator account.

  Thank you
