I am looking for a script i can run in powergui which can provide me the user who is logged in to a set or all of our vm? I did found this out there: $vms = get-vm *vm-name* ForEach ($vm in $vms) { $QueryString = Gwmi Win32_ComputerSystem -Comp $vm $QueryString = $QueryString.userName if ($QueryString -eq $null) {$vm | Set-CustomField -Name “Logged in User” -Value "No One Logged In"} ELSE {$vm | Set-CustomField -Name “Logged in User” -Value $QueryString}} Part of the results though come back like this; CustomFields : {[Logged in User, No One Logged In], [Transfer Server Status, ] , [VM Lock Status, ]} Thanks,
sparrowangels… sounds like a good idea, i always like fresh installs instead of upgrade.
hmmm, so if i just did a remove how will that affect my vms on that host? I would like to try that.
Yeah I'm actually thinking of doing a clean build... whats the censes on that fresh install or upgrade?
Yup did upgrade from esx to esxi. Now going to upgrade to esxi 5.0 just wondering is that going to give me problems?
ESXi 4.1.0 Build 721871 Shows Service Console with 272 MB, how can I get rid of this?
Yes. I have done it in my environment.
The rename seems to have worked but we had a phantom datastore as well, which took a while to finally clear up. no fun...
So I take it that this is a very bad thing?? I opened a service request with VMware... of course they will take a day before they call or email me back though. Anyone else has had this problem... See more...

Trying to figure this one out and see if anyone else has had the same issue? After upgrading from VC 4.1 to 5.0 I noticed a msg in the event tabs Created VMFS datastore name1:iscsi1(1) on hostname.com. When I go to the Datastores and Datastores Clusters view all have a (1) at the end of the name. Should I do a rename and remove the (1)?? Thanks

I found this out over the weekend myself the hardway as well. What a PITA that was, my DR site no problem upgraded without any issues. Primary site was a horror story still getting over it. I had same issue with database, tooks about 2 hours to truncate it.
Thanks some guy, but I think my issue is more of a vSphere Center Server issue opposed to the esxi host.

VMware ESXi 4.1 does not support web access. For reference o through this KB  http://kb.vmware.com/selfservice/microsites/search.do?language=en_US&cmd=displayKC&externalId=1015000 Thanks, Venkat. @gvenkatsumanth not going to the esxi server but via vSphere vCenter. I assume you are saying you cant access vCenter server using web access Did you already check the below KB's http://kb.vmware.com/selfservice/microsites/search.do?language=en_US&cmd=displayKC&externalId=1009291 http://kb.vmware.com/selfservice/microsites/search.do?language=en_US&cmd=displayKC&externalId=1003915 @aravinds3107 I think kb 1003915 might just be the ticket - going to try that. Assuming that you are using linux I am suggesting below steps.  You need to use Windows system to manage your VMware ESX server. However, it does provides vSphere Web Access which allows you to organize and share virtual machines using web browser.  You can fix this problem as follows.  Login to your vmware server as root user.  Type the following command to turn on the service: # chkconfig vmware-webAccess on # service vmware-webAccess start  Now login as root to your server: nce logged in you can setup guest operating systems, start and stop vms and so on. This can be done using any browser under Linux / OS X or Windows operating systems: Alternatively, you can use MS-Windows vSphere client to start and stop vSphere web access services without using shell prompt. @jimraina Thanks but I running esxi 4.1 and I am trying to get the web access via Virtual Center.
Any KB I find or articles all speak of how to enable web access on a esx host!! I am running esxi 4.1 what am i doing wrong???
Did I post this in the wrong place? No one else has had this problem?

I am having this issue with my vSphere 4.1 Build 345043 - I can get to the VMware vSphere Welcome home page and I can see the Getting Started etc... once I click on Log in to Web Access all I get is "503 Service Unavailabe". I have restarted the services and even rebooted the vc server, but to no aval. Any suggestions. All my hosts are esxi 4.1's, what am I missing. Thank you in advance,
