Add ESXI Host to vCenter Server

[finsfree]

I am kind of new to vSphere6 but I have to know this stuff for work purposes.

I have a virtual Domain environment in VMware Workstation that is set up like this:

• 1 ESXi Host
• 1 Domain Controller Running DNS (Server 2012)
• 1 vCenter Server (Server 2012)
• 1 Work Station (Win7 Pro)

I can connect to the vCenter Server (Server 2012) through vSphere Web Client (using Win7 Pro) (https://vcsa.contoso.local/vsphere-client/?csp). Once I am in, I click on "Hosts and Clusters" and I have nothing in my inventory (no ESXi IP address shows up).

How do I add an ESXi Host to the vCenter Server?

Thx,

P.S. I am using the evaluation version of all the VMware products. Everything seems to be working fine up until this point.

Have you tried log in with the use administrator@vsphere.local?

That was it!!!!

After log in with the administrator@vsphere.local just assign permission to your other users.

Oh ok yes, I see.

It's just me in a lab environment though.

Thanks again,
