Need to verify my AD credentials works in multiple esxi hosts

[nava_thulasi39]

Hello,

I need to log into multiple esxi hosts with my AD credentails to verify it's working or not. Most of the esxi servers are member of AD.

Is there any to script it my AD credentials logging into esxi servers through SSH by Powercli?

Eagerly waiting for reply if we have the option.

To be able to SSH with AD credentials into an ESXi server, a couple of prerequisites need to be in place:

• SSH needs to be started on the ESXi
• the AD account needs to be added to the file /etc/security/access.conf
• the AD entry in that file needs to use the NetBIOS notation, i.e +:domain\user:ALL

Are these all present ?

Hi LucD,

Thanks for the Quick reply.

These two prerequesties are already in place.

• the AD account needs to be added to the file /etc/security/access.conf
• the AD entry in that file needs to use the NetBIOS notation, i.e +:domain\user:ALL

So i need to enable SSH on the esxi hosts and need to login with my AD credentials. Looking for your response.

That is correct.
