I get an error every time I try to create a new user. At first I didn't think much of this, but now it's stopping me from joining a vCenter server as it wants to create or modify the vpxuser account.
When I go to create a new user I receive the error "Failed - A general system error occurred: passwd: Permission denied". The only account I have at the moment is "root", so that's what I'm doing this from.
This is a clean install using the Dell customised ISO (ie it has the Dell drivers I need built in). When I enable ssh and ssh in to the host using the root and run passwd I get "Permission denied".
I cannot try this from any other accounts as I cannot create any accounts to try this from.
As stated above, this is making it so I can't join the new host to a vCenter server.
Hi,
I installed many of those Dell ISO custom images, but this kind of problem never happened to me. If you don't have any "Virtul machines" yet, I recommend reinstalling Esxi. With the root user you have to log in.
you installed this (in the English version):
VMware ESXi 6.7 U3 | Dettagli sui driver | Dell Italia
ARomeo

I wasn't able to get any solutions that worked, so I just rebuilt as you say. That was always my fallback, but I was hoping it was a known issue or had a resolution just in case a rebuild saw the same thing happen.
First thing after rebuilding I tried creating an additional account. Succeeded. I installed using the same media and process as the prior time.
