Vcenter roles and permissions on files to export
Hello
I use the script to Gabe at low cost disaster recovery for export permanent folder, but when I checked to see if it exports all folders in my vCenter there seems to be some missing files... At first I thought that maybe the account I used to export was the role of administrator or role is has not spread downwards for missing files, but after checking, it was not the case.
Code:
--------------------------
Function Get roles
{
Begin {}
$authMgr = get-View Manager
$report = @)
}
{In process
{foreach ($role in $authMgr.roleList)}
$ret = new-Object PSObject
$ret | Add-Member-Type noteproperty-Name 'Name' - value $role.name
$ret | Add-Member-Type noteproperty-Name 'Label' - value $role.info.label
$ret | Add-Member-Type noteproperty-Name 'Summary' - value $role.info.summary
$ret | Add-Member-Type noteproperty-Name 'RoleId' - value $role.roleId
$ret | Add-Member-Type noteproperty-Name 'System' - value $role.system
$ret | Add-Member-Type noteproperty-Name 'Privilège' - value $role.privilege
$report += $ret
}
}
{End}
return $report
}
}
Function Get-permissions
{
Begin {}
$report = @)
$authMgr = get-View Manager
$roleHash = @ {}
$authMgr.RoleList | %{
$roleHash [$_] RoleId] = $_. Name
}
}
{In process
$perms = $authMgr.RetrieveAllPermissions)
{foreach ($perm in $perms)
$ret = new-Object PSObject
$entity is get-view $perm. Entity
$ret | Add-Member-Type noteproperty-Name 'Entity' - value $entity. Name
$ret | Add-Member-Type noteproperty-Name "EntityType" - value $entity.gettype (). Name
$ret | Add-Member-Type noteproperty-Name 'Group' - value $perm. Group
$ret | Add-Member-Type noteproperty-Name "Main" - value $perm. Main
$ret | Add-Member-Type noteproperty-Name 'Spread' - value $perm. Spread
$ret | Add-Member-Type noteproperty-Name 'Role' - value $roleHash [$perm. RoleId]
$report += $ret
}
}
{End}
return $report
}
}

Depending on how deeply nested and common names are and would need to be analyzed, but essentially, Yes. If you re-create your folder structure to match your original vCenter, then you can apply the permissions in the appropriate folders and as long as it spread is set accordingly, it must inherit for sub folders similar to how they were put in the original vCenter.
One caveat is that you must export both custom roles/privileges.

How can I save vCenter roles and permissions
As you know the permissions and roles of vCenter are stored locally in a database of ADAM, even when the main inventory SQL server database is on a different system. I backup my separately from SQL server database but do not save the local database of ADAM. What is the best way to save the ADAM database if there are no backups at the hypervisor level of vCenter server? vCenter server is virtualized and unfortunately only in guest-backup agents are allowed by this company, no backups of VMDK. Solutions of VADP are not allowed. Thank you!
This information is part of the VCDB as well, and if you save the VCDB you will be covered. However, you can manually save ADAM if you wish.

Associate roles and permissions to users who are on a database
Hello
I want to achieve secure authentication I used the Configuration of the ADF, but I discovered that I can't put my users to my database. I can just create users with roles in Jdeveloper.
don't you how we can put users in Jdeveloper and associate the roles and permissions?If you don't want to use the Adf security, you must use a custom security implementation or use a traditional J2EE security implementation.
Remember, ADF is little wild for newbes, just be patient and read the documentation (it is useful).
If you have any more questions, and then close the case.

Hello
I am trying to install a role and authorization in vCenter 4.1 so that another user of vCenter 'read only' access can display CapacityIQ. Documents say to seek a role capacity IQ, but I have not found one. By the documentation.
Procedure
1. reboot the vSphere Client.
2. Add the global privilege CapacityIQ in a new or existing role.
3 right click on the folder root of the server vCenter in the inventory tree and select Add permission.
4 in the dialog box assign permissions, assign the new role or existing user that accesses CapacityIQ.The global privilege CapacityIQ there simply isn't. How can I add this to so I can grant the necessary access?
Thoughts anyone?

Hey Ed,.
I see my Caron, there is a privilege 'CapacityIQ' in the category 'Global' of roles. What do you see in your environment? I do not see a role 'default' created by Caron, so think you must associate a user with this privilege. I'm running the 1.5.0 last version of Caron, if this can help

vCenter roles and privileges to migrate virtual machines
I created a custom role named 'Build VMs' that I have assigned to an ad group. This role is assigned in the data centers, all spread and no. folder where elsewhere. The role was designed to allow a specific group of users to manage virtual machines (create, move, delete, but not clone, etc.).
For the most part, it works fine, but I have a problem: they cannot migrate powered off VMs. vMotion is available and works, but I need to move a cluster virtual machines to a different (more old hw & 3.5 to new hw & 4.1).
The role has the following privileges:

My exported videos are much larger, and then similar files I exported in the past
I recently recorded a funeral, and when I exported it, the file was much larger than similar videos, that I've done in the past. The duration of the project is about 44 minutes long. When I tried to export it as a Quicktime size is 9.35 GB. I exported it a mpeg and the size is passed to 7.8 GB.
I recorded a music festival last year and the same video length would be about 3 GB in the form of Quicktime. And they were smaller that the mpeg files came to be.
Or files had too much editing done for them. No fancy filters or extra 3rd party add-ons have been used. Some transitions, a subtitle or two and maybe a still image.
I tried to change the codes and export of settings, but not a lot of difference. For some reason any the GoPro Cinefrom codec came default one, but who gave me a size and huge audio and no video.
I changed several times and still can't get a decent file size. I can't even fit it onto a DVD so I can give it to my client!
I got a few gigs to mount and export. And I can't work with these large files. They cannot be burned to a disc, and they take so long to download on Youtube that they tend to get partially disturbed and let me it start all over again.
Help!
It is quite possible that you have exported a H.264 file into a QuickTime wrapper, so that it is released as a .mov file. I avoid this, remove the mix of QuickTime and just export using the H.264 format which provides a .mp4 which plays universally pretty much anywhere. It would be for the digital distribution, for example, transfer or give someone a USB key. For a DVD, you would export as MPEG - 2 DVD of first directly, do not go to any other format first.
To download on YouTube in particular, choose H.264 and the YouTube preset that best matches the video source like Meg had shown in a previous post.
Back to DVD and 'less files you are after' - DVD should ALWAYS be DVD MPEG-2. You cannot export anything else first for use on a DVD. Well, you could... but still would like to convert it to MPEG-2 DVD anyway, since the DVD must be MPEG-2. Always. Period. So forget QuickTime or H.264 to that effect.
When you export a video to a DVD (or export any file for that matter), how to control the size of the file is with bitrate. As the size of the DVD disc is fixed, plus the video then liked the baud rate to be used to fit your content on the disc. For any video up to 60 minutes, you can encode at 8.0 and be safe. Over an hour, then you would like to use a bitrate calculator to find the best settings.
As a general rule, you could use 560/minutes bitrate =. For example, 560/120 = 4.66, encode using 2 - pass VBR 4.5 as the target or 'average' bit misses and no worries, it will fit. I round down a little safety margin of the menu load. You can use a bitrate calculator, but you must understand the correct values to plug into each box - spoil one of these values and the whole calculation comes out wrong end!

Hello
I could not get the AAU to honour the permissions of the user defined in Weblogic. Here's what I do:
1. create a Weblogic group called "contributor".
2 create a role in the UMC called "contributor" with permissions of read/write on the PUBLIC group
3. Add a user in Weblogic called "testuser" and make him a member of the employee group
4. connect to the Complutense University of MADRID as a "testuser".
5 testuser has only the permissions "guest."
UCM is NOT honoring the contributor of Weblogic group membership. The documentation says if I create a Weblogic group with exactly the same name as being instrumental in the University Complutense of MADRID, the permissions should be granted properly but I didn't actually work.
Someone saw this? I would supremely, manage users and authorization in a unique place with a minimum of fuss.
Thank you! -JDMHello
Stop the server of the University Complutense of MADRID managed and the WLS server.
Start the WLS server, wait until it starts completely, and then start the server from the Complutense University of MADRID.
After this test to see if the issue still persists.

Script to export vCenter roles / Permissions
I'm trying to find a script that will capture our vSphere vCenter roles and permissions hierarchy. I thought I found the perfect thing to:
http://www.virtu-al.NET/2009/06/15/vSphere-permissions-export-import-part-1
But I'm having real problems to make this work. I get the same kind of mistakes that other users on the site
The script works well, but I get continual errors along the lines of:
"You can not call a method on a null value expression.
C:\tmp\ExportRoles.ps1:85 char: 22
$node. "AppendChild (< < < < $tmp).
"You can not call a method on a null value expression.
C:\tmp\ExportRoles.ps1:85 char: 23
$node. ' SetAttribute (< < < < $name, $value).
"You can not call a method on a null value expression.
C:\tmp\ExportRoles.ps1:85 tank: 44
"$tmp = $global: vInventory.CreateElement (< < < < $nodeName).
Who performs a loop for a while, then I get an error like:
"Exception calling"AppendChild"with"1"or the arguments:"Object reference not set to an instance of an object." .
C:\tmp\ExportRoles.ps1:81 char: 22
$node. AppendChild (< < < < $tmp)
When doing the fix as indicated by one of the users on the modification of the "global" part, I get the same erros but with a new fundraiser:
' Exception calling 'CreateElement' with '1' or the arguments: "the local name for elements or attributes cannot be null or an empty string." '
C:\tmp\ExportRoles.ps1:80 tank: 37
$tmp = $vInventory.CreateElement (< < < < $nodeName)
The script creates the xml file filled with descriptors, it is simply not filling with one of my roles or permissions. I removed most of the roles stocks and created new roles from scratch.
I am using vCenter 4.0U1 build 208111 and 4.0.1 - 208462 PowerCli
Any ideas? Or people me for a script that will capture this point. I especially like the fact that it is pumped on XML as my intention is to use the process of generation automated for our environment. I'm pretty green in Powershell, I copied this verbatim script so if there is something Yes, I should do please shout. I guess that's not enumarting the values of the Manager, but I don't know where to insert a "Write-Host" step at the exit of the value on the display to check where it's down once again any help with this would be appreciated.
Long live the people.
This is one of my old script that apparently has had some problems in PowerShell v2.
Attached a new version.
Can you check if this works for you?

Role and authorization in VC for each user
Hello world
I want to pull-out user role and permissions for all users exist in the VC findout this privilege they have and that members that they belong and also at what level of Powercli script in csv. Any help on this appreciated.Thank you
vmguyYou want to say that the XML file attached to your previous answer?
Yes, I did. And it is empty (except for the XML framework).
This seems to indicate that the script was not able to retrieve the roles and permissions.
Led me to believe that the 'Get-View Manager' does not work for one reason or the other.

I can open new folders without problem. But cannot name files. When I type the name I want and write the word, the name of the folder goes back to 'new folder '. If I try to do so through "Rename" the same thing is happening.
It comes to my own computer. I am owner/administrator.
I used different Windows OS over the years, I've had computers and never had this problem with any of them until I got this new laptop (Acer Aspire 5735Z with Vista)

http://www.Vistax64.com/tutorials/157304-folder-permissions.html===================================================
From a post by Rehman F.
Here are the steps to change the ownership and permissions of files and folders:
1. right click on the file or folder, click Properties, and then click the Security tab.
2. click on advanced and then click the owner tab.
3. click on edit and then do one of the following:
· To change the owner to a user or group that is not listed, click other users and groups, and in the box type
the object name to select (examples), type the name of the user or group, and then click OK.· To change the owner to a user or a group is listed in the change owner to box, click the new owner.
4. If you want to take ownership of the contents of the folder, select the replace the owner of sub containers and objects check box.
5. click OK and then click Yes when you receive the following message is displayed:
You are not allowed to read the contents of directory folder name. You want to replace the directory
permissions with permissions granting you full control?All permissions will be replaced if you click Yes.
Note folder_name is the name of the folder you want to take charge.
6. click on OK and then reapply the permissions and security settings that you want for the folder and its contents.
Additional considerations
7· An administrator can take ownership of any file on the computer.
8· Affecting the ownership of a file or a folder might require that raise you your permissions using user access control
I hope this helps.
