QuickPrep error

[Rohail2004]

My vCenter is in a different domain, and view connection server in a different domain, both domain have one way trust between them.  When i tried to create a pool I get the quick prep error saying account does not enough permission to complete the config.

vCenter/Composer/View Admin has to be in a same domain??  the reason I can't have view connection server in my vCenter domain, becuase i have more than 8 clusters and view does not support that. I am looking for a work around since we are just testing the VMware view.

Thanks in advance.

Hi, Which domain are you trying to deploy the VM's to?

The domain which doesnt have vCenter running, but it does have the connectivity, only one way domain trust.

On the Guest Customisation Tab on the Pool settings, does it display the Domain which you want to deploy to? Or is it the vCenter domain?

it shows the domain where it wants to deploy, but after a while it gives an AD error.

Hi, you need a two-way trust between both domains.

In the other hand, make sure the account used to create a pool of linked clones has enough privileges on vCenter and Active Directory.

Take a look the "View Installation Guide" from Vmware documentation.  Page 23 through 25,

Hi,

Having vCenter and View Connection server on different domains shouldn't make any problem.

You should add a Domian account with enough permissions to join machines to domain under Viewcomposer domain accounts (edit vCenters->enable view composer add domain. Admin guide p14).

Once you add this, select this account at the customization page of pool creation wizard.

View has a limitation of 8 hosts per cluster but no limit on number of clusters per vCenter as far as i know.
