    Is this possible?. Please someone help remove my Admin account and continue with the default Administrator account...

    Please I am really struck upward with this problem...

    Hi Ravikaran,
     
    -What exactly happens when you try to delete the administrator account? You receive an error message or error code? If Yes, indicate the same.

    You must be logged on as an administrator or a member of the Administrators group to perform this procedure. If your computer is connected to a network, network policy settings may also prevent you from complete this procedure.

    See the following articles for more information on the deletion of the account:

  • Add local VM applicant as matter of windows administrator

    All,

    I'm pretty new on vCAC and trouble with something, you are looking for help.  Users have the ability to log in and request a Windows 2008 R2 server, he joined the field very well, but it will not put the user in the local administrator, as the profile to build group I have set up is supposed to do.  When I try and run the command manually.  I don't think it should however.  For reference I use vCAC 6.1 and building on a Windows Server 2008 R2 server with the latest windows updates.

    My profile of generation looks like this:

    VirtualMachine.Admin.UseGuestAgenttrue
    VirtualMachine.Customize.WaitCompletetrue
    VirtualMachine.Software0.NameName of Script to add the user to the Local Administrators group
    VirtualMachine.Software.ScriptPathc:\scripts\Name of Script to add user Local Admin Group {owner}
    VMware.VirtualCenter.OperatingSystemwindows7Server64Guest

    The script is quite simple, its just the threshold:

    net localgroup administrators / add %1

    It's pretty standard to do research around the internet, but this does not work for me for some reason any. The never finished virtual machine construction because it will impede and never finished.  I don't see anything in the papers, so I don't know what is a failure.  This is a basic version so it doesn't do much in the build process.  Server 2008 R2 VM clones model, syspreps, renames and joined it to the domain. All this happens in the customization file.  Then it does not end.  No notices anything that I'm missing?

    Look for this line:

    • VirtualMachine.Software0.ScriptPath = C:\VRMGuestAgent\scripts\addusertoadmin.cmd {owner}

    The value {owner} the vCAC will get will be passed as the '1' variable to the command/net localgroup administrators / add %1

    Problem with the backup attempt: contacts, messages, bookmarks... any option on the left side of the window of backup & restore.
