Hi all - have VCSA 6.5 installed in two locations now. Enhanced authentication plugin is installed but not working - cannot check the box for credential fill-in. Tried a few different things to no avail. Anyone have it working or know why it may not be working in Chrome or IE in Windows 10?
Thanks all!

Hello Community,
I'm a newbie at getting to know vCenter. After installing vCenter I can log into the Appliance Management but can't for the vSphere client. I'm am confused to what the login name is that I know I created. I'm really having a dumb moment here and I apologized in advance!
I used both marked in yellow in the (attachment) but none work that I created. I know this should be easy but it's not for me.
Any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks in advance everyone
Hi,
Do you have idea how to select multi-VMs in vCenter?
I want to delete multi-VMs at one time but I cannot select multi-VMs in vCenter for doing that.

Hello Folks,
We are going to upgrade our vCenters, we have couple of questions, currently we have replicating our VMs from Protection to DR site, if we upgrade our vCenter do we need to pause the replication of the servers? The downtime will be 3 hours for each vCenter. Please let us know.
Thank You!!
We cannot login username and password to a few of our Linked Mode vCenters. When trying to disjoin and rejoin the node, I receive this error.
"There is already a native AD IDS or LDAP AD IDS registered"
A google search reveals this KB that says to disjoin from the command line but to take snapshots of all your vCenters which makes me a little nervous.
My question is, could disjoining a single node affect the upstream partner or all the linked vCenters?

Hi all,
I am trying to migrate windows vcenter 6.0u3j to vcsa 6.7 u3f. Migration process fails at 41% due to connection to DB timout.
DB is external: MS SQL, but installed on the same server as VC.
Do I have to use the same account that was used to install Vcenter for migration ? (I was using different one but with Admin rights).
I have found similar post saying that it might be SSO or Administrator password with special character like "." or "@"
Below you can find my logs - thx in advance for help.

I noticed after installing the 3F patch to our VCSA, all tasks are queued and not progressing/completing. ESXi or guest tasks, it doens't matter. Has anyone else encountered this?
Due to a quick refresh on vSphere Client, I am not able to rename my VM. When ever, I click on the VM, hit F2 and type the new name, the screen does a refresh and I am not able to rename the VM.
I can just type on the notepad and do a quick cut and paste but I would like to know, how can we stop/avoid/fix this behaviour of vSphere Client.
Thanks
Can anyone point me in the right direction for where the logs files are that I can see failed login attempts to the web client?
Thanks in advance.
I did it by VCSA 7.0 installer UI.

How can I resolve those errors and successfully upgrade?
First and foremost, to you and all the other VM folks who are smarter than me, I appreciate the wealth of knowledge you bring. I'm not sure if I have collected all the data you would need, but if you need more, please let me know.
I'm, in 6.7, and I'm having a similar issue. Having FOUND the logs that indicate failed logins, I'm still unclear how to troubleshoot them. I can't copy and paste the error since it's on a closed network, but the log files look something like this:
caused by: com.vmware.identity.interop.ldap.InvalidCredentialsLdapException: Invalid credentials.
Things to know:
The Machine SSL certificate is valid.
The vCenter is 6.7, as are all the ESXi hosts.
The vCenter is domain joined.
The vCenter does have the appropriate Identity Source.
Both smartcard AND username/password Active Directory authentication fail.
The vCenter has been disjoined and rejoined AND rebuilt.
What step MAY have been missed:
I'm not sure if the old AD entry was ever deleted or reset prior to rebuilding or rejoining. I'm not 100% certain because we have multiple engineers working multiple projects.
I logged into my lab vCenter instance today and found this lovely message.
I already made sure the clock was good and even went as far as rebuilding the inventory DB which restarts all the services, but neither made a difference.
Hi,
I'm looking to use VMware converter through a firewall and I'm using the proxy mode but it seems considerably slower in that mode.
Does anyone know if I don't use proxy mode - what ports VMware converter use in total?

Dave.
Hi,
I have used the standalone conversion tool on Windows to move a Centos 7 VM from one ESXi 6.5 host to a new 6.7 host. I used linux host to new VM so that I could shrink the hard drive from a 1Tb provisioning to a 150Gb SSD provisioning (only uses 6Gb anyway so far) and it all went OKish.
When I power on I get an initial stream of errors that wait for input. Once I hit space it goes to the manual boot screen then allows me to boot up. Google is not proving very helpful for that error. I wonder if anyone has seen this before and can assist in fixing this.
I also get a blank screen when trying to reboot too. but one error at a time eh.
Many thanks in advance
Simon
Hi
Does anyone know if the latest version of VMware Converter supports migrating Hyper V 2016 differencing disks to VMware 6.7 or would the differencing disks require inflating to their full size for each VM prior to migration ?
Hi,
Following this article:
I want to determine which vCenters in my organizations were upgraded or installed from a clean installation.
Is there a way to know that?
Thanks!
I Installed vCenter 7.0 and after the install, I am unable to see VMs in sub-VM folders.
As you can see, I'm not sure why some remote sites go into one dn path and others to another i.e default-site or default-first-site. I had no option to choose as it seemed to do this on its own. Can someone tell me what this means as I don't want to experience gremlins down the road and vmwares documentation on this is either non existant or barried deep on the internet.
