Log in with Windows Credentials

[jorgitogutierre]

I'm runing VSphere VCenter Server with Windows Authentication. I can connect Ok.

If I try to connect to a single ESXI using vCenter Client I get a "Windows session credential cannot be used to log into this server. Enter a user name and password".

Thanks.

we can use windows login credentials while login to vCenter.

to login to ESX directly you have to use the root login credentials or the user account created on the esx locally

you cannot use windows login credentials while login directly to esx
