VI Toolkit problems

[itnifl]

So I downloade the VMware Infrastructure Toolkit (for Windows) from . I installed it on a Vista client and wanted to access my VMWare Server 2.0 based on a Debian host(I have no domain set up at home by the way). I connected to the vmware server like this:

C:\Program Files\VMware\Infrastructure\VIToolkitForWindows> Connect

-VIServer -Server 192.168.1.102 -Protocol https -Port 8333 -User Admin -Password

password

WARNING: There were one or more problems with the server certificate:

• A certification chain processed correctly, but terminated in a root

certificate which isn't trusted by the trust provider.

• The certificate's CN name does not match the passed value.

Name Port User

I then try to list all VM's:

C:\Program Files\VMware\Infrastructure\VIToolkitForWindows> Get-VM

Get-VM : Angitt argument var utenfor området for gyldige verdier.

Parameternavn: i

At line:1 char:6

+ Get-VM <<<<

This is Norwegian and translates to something like: The specified argument is outside valid values. Parametername: i

So what did I do wrong?

Hi,

ViToolkit does not support VMWare Server. It is intended for management of Virtual Center Server or standalone ESX hosts.

What do I do then?

Version 1.0 works against VMware Server.
