Hi Did you choose your Domain as the default domain in the same area that I have discuss before?? Also do you use DOMAIN\USERNAME or USERNAME@DOMAIN in the user login?? NW

Hi First can you tell me if you are trying to add a Domain into the vCenter. Is this the task?? Integrate the vCenter with your AD?? If yes, if your domain was not added with the installation of the vCenter(like locally or trying to add a different domain), you need to go to the SSO option(in vSphere Web Client) and in the Configuration and tab Identify Sources and you add your AD as "Active Directory as a LDAP Server" Then you need to add your LDAP server(example: ldap://DCserver.domain.com:3268) - Note: user port 3268 Then we need to add the Base DN for users and Groups. Since we want to use users from all Groups and Areas, use the Root Base DN(example:DC=domain,DC=com). We use this Base DN for users and groups option. Then you just need to add an user and password from your Domain(the same domain that you are trying to add) and test the LDAP communication. Hope this helps NW
Answer you question, no all are in 512. We don't have 4k Volumes. NW

Agree, your are right and no In VMware KB have the information regarding the controller. Before I reply I made a test, just create in my Equalogic a 3TB Volume(with 512k). Add the volume to my host(iSCSI) and then add the volume directly to on Windows 2008 R2 VM, added as mapped RAW disk and finish. My VM is using LSI Logic SAS. Enter the Windows Server, initialize the disk with GPT and formated and was added to System Guest without any issues with free space 2.99TB This test was made with vCenter 5.5, host ESXi 5.0 and VM HW 8.0. So no issues where. NW
Hi, Good that you have resolved. But v5.5 was not issue. We have some VMs with RDM disks more then 2Tb and working properly. NW

Hi If if to set the identify sources(a AD Domain), the account should only need read permissions. But the problem could be in the "Base DN for Users" that was set in identify sources option. NW
Hi You should know that more then 2Tb needs to be initialized as GPT, not MBR Also take a look at http://kb.vmware.com/kb/2058287 Hope this helps. NW

Hi All, We have a very strange behavior with our EMC(VMAX) iSCSI volumes the are connected to our ESXi hosts(5.1 and 5.5). Some hosts have Emulex cards for iSCSI Adapters, others have iSCSI Software adapters. In both type of hosts we have the same problems. This happen after we create a new Storage Group in the EMC and use the same iqn Groups(with the same hosts that have already some other Volumes from another Storage Group), then when we reboot a host, we cannot see most of the datastores anymore(some have the new ones, some have the old ones, that are from different Storage Groups). I know when we reboot will clean or close iSCSI connections and with this some Datastores will not show, but the strange is that if we go to the Devices all Volumes are there(in all hosts). But if we try to add, no Volumes show to add to the host. I even try to change the on some volumes Round Robin to Fixed to see if fix the issue, no luck. All path shows as active and are green, so no issues here. I even double check the Volumes configuration and connection(the ones that are visible and the ones are not visible) using "esxcli storage core device world list" and "esxcli storage core device list -d" , but dont see anything different between them. Trying to see anything in VMware, but did not find anything related to issues like this. Any help or seen some similar behavior will be a great help. Thank You NW
Hi, Yes did that part already. Because this vCenter that I am testing has more than 100 hosts. So too many to fit in just one small textbox. NW

Hi LucD, Yes something like that. Almost there So I have my design my form($MainForm) and on the form I have the textbox($textbox4) already in my code(since I am using Powershell Studio we can just drag and drop to create the design forms. I have created a button to connect to the vCenter(or host depending what IP address is given) and when there is a connection I run the code to show all the hosts details. So if I want to transport your script/code to my Form code I just need to use this: $txt = '' $VMhosts = Get-VMHost -Server $VIServer Foreach ($VMhost in $VMhosts)   {     $txt += "Hostname: $($VMHost.Name) Processor Type: $($VMHost.ProcessorType) Manufacturer: $($VMhost.Manufacturer) Version: $($VMHost.Version) Build: $($VMHost.Build)`r`n"       } $TextBox4.Multiline = $true $TextBox4.Text = $txt Is working, just trying to auto extend the textbox while the list grows. But LucD, thank you this will do. NW

Hi Thank you for the reply. No is not. This tools only to migrate to a new server(same IP and same name etc.). I have a vCenter with DB, now the plan is to migrate the DB to a DB server and also created a new vCenter that only uses vCenter services. So I need to import all the stuff from the old vCenter to export to the new vCenter. What I am talking about is a powershell script. VMware in one support ticket send me the link, but now I cannot find it. Was not an "official" script but was in the communities Powershell script from VMware(as a DOC). The guy from support said that they use it internally. Some of the scripts that I found over the Internet, doesn't do 100% of the work. Thank You

Hi Again, Yes I had try that one also and fixed the problem Many thanks for the support
That was my first try, getting the same problem.

Hi fabiendibot, Thank You for your reply. Running that script I get an error: "Invalid assignment expression. The left hand side of an assignment operator needs to be something that can be assigned to like a variable or a property." and I get this here: $props = [ordered]@{"VMName "=$VM.Name,"CreateDate "=$Snapshot.created,"SnapshotName "=$Snapshot.Name,"SnapshotDesc "=$Snapshot.Description} On the first field for snapshot in the $(that means is the variable Snapshot. So is because variable is inside a foreach command?? Thank You

Hi All I am trying to create a script to list all the snapshots from all VMs, or particularly cluster(or Resource Pool) to a Excel file, or even html file but with a good structure(like fields, VM name, Snapshot date, Snapshot description, etc). With this script I can get all this information, but don' t know how to add this into a file. Export to a file I think is not so hard, the problem is to build all the fields and the structure I need. This is my script: #By Cluster $AllVirtualMachines = Get-Cluster -Name "DSC-Cluster" | Get-VM #All Vms #$AllVirtualMachines = Get-VM #$Pools = Get-ResourcePool #foreach ($Pool in $Pools){ foreach ($VirtualMachine in $AllVirtualMachines)     {$AllSnapshots=Get-Snapshot -VM $VirtualMachine         foreach ($Snapshot in $AllSnapshots)              {If ($Snapshot.ID -like "VirtualMachineSnapshot-*")               {Write-Host "" $VirtualMachine.Name,                 " - Snapshot Create-> "  $Snapshot.created,                 " - Snapshot Name-> " $Snapshot.Name,                 " - Snapshot Description-> "$Snapshot.Description}}                 } If someone can help finishing this script will be nice. Thank You
Found it finally I need to choose the option open in the vApp, if not I will never get  the option add VMs. I was using only the tab for vApp, not open the  vApp itself aff Thanks
