      <description>&lt;HTML&gt;&lt;HEAD&gt;&lt;/HEAD&gt;&lt;BODY&gt;&lt;P&gt;To use the Set-VMHostAuthentication cmdlet you have to make a connection with the host using the Connect-VIServer cmdlet. Did you do that? For example:&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Connect-VIServer 10.50.56.151&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Set-VMHost -State Connected -VMHost 10.50.56.151 | Set-VMHostAuthentication -Username root -Password 'trustno1' -JoinDomain $false -Server 10.50.56.151&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Disconnect-VIServer 10.50.56.151 -Confirm:$false&lt;/P&gt;&lt;/BODY&gt;&lt;/HTML&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;HTML&gt;&lt;HEAD&gt;&lt;/HEAD&gt;&lt;BODY&gt;&lt;P&gt;But these hosts are already connected in vcenter. I just changed root password and changed the host state into disconnected mode.Now I need to connect the host with in the Vcenter by supplying new password.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;/BODY&gt;&lt;/HTML&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;HTML&gt;&lt;HEAD&gt;&lt;/HEAD&gt;&lt;BODY&gt;&lt;P&gt;You are mixing two things here.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;The host connection state with the Set-VMHost and the host authentication mechanism with the Set-VMHostAuthentication.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;The Set-VMHost cmdlet will output a VMhost object, the Set-VMHostAuthentication cmdlet expects a VMHostAuthentication object in the pipeline.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;/BODY&gt;&lt;/HTML&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;HTML&gt;&lt;HEAD&gt;&lt;/HEAD&gt;&lt;BODY&gt;&lt;P&gt;Did you change the root password on the ESXi node while it was disconnected ?&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Then you would have to do an &lt;A href="https://www.vmware.com/support/developer/PowerCLI/PowerCLI60R1/html/Add-VMHost.html"&gt;Add-VMHost&lt;/A&gt;, where you supply the new root password.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;/BODY&gt;&lt;/HTML&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;HTML&gt;&lt;HEAD&gt;&lt;/HEAD&gt;&lt;BODY&gt;&lt;P&gt;Afaik, the vCenter uses the vpxuser account to connect to an ESXi host, not the root account.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;It's only when you add a new ESXi host to a vCenter, that you need to give a root account.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;When the vpxuser password expires (30 days by default) at the same moment, then you will have to an Add-VMHost afaik&lt;/P&gt;&lt;/BODY&gt;&lt;/HTML&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;HTML&gt;&lt;HEAD&gt;&lt;/HEAD&gt;&lt;BODY&gt;&lt;P&gt;‌I totally agree with you. The thing you said work upuntil the host is in connected state.,But it will ask for credentials when ever you try to disconnect/reconnect the host or reboot the host by keeping in maintenance mode.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;I Tested manually like changing the root password of host which is in vcenter and disconnected the host from vcenter and if I try to reconnect it throughs error as authentication failed.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;/BODY&gt;&lt;/HTML&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;HTML&gt;&lt;HEAD&gt;&lt;/HEAD&gt;&lt;BODY&gt;&lt;P&gt;At that point I suspect you can only do a Remove-VMHost followed by an Add-VMHost.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;/BODY&gt;&lt;/HTML&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;HTML&gt;&lt;HEAD&gt;&lt;/HEAD&gt;&lt;BODY&gt;&lt;P&gt;Thanks LucD., As far I tested that is the only way to connect back the vmhost to vcenter. I didn't find any cmdlet.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;/BODY&gt;&lt;/HTML&gt;</description>
