For other folders on the same level there is no problem (like there is a folder named w2k3 ) I did try to propegate from the folder above desktops in the GUI (sorry, not really convinced about my powershell skills to do the set-vipermissions) , but no luck. Hope you can find something, or tell me to look in which log file. Addy

Hi, In the VMs and Templates view. I have a folder under datacenter with the name desktops. When I want to move a virtual machine into it or out of it I get: Permission to perform this operation was denied. You do not hold priviledge "Virtual machine > Inventory > Move" on folder "desktops" When I rightclick the folder, I do not have the option to set of add permissions to the folder. I have other folders which dont have this problem. I am the Administrator so logged in with these rights. Using vCenter 4.1. Any suggestions?

Thanks for clearing that out. Does this also mean the network is connected without anything possibly interfering with the physical network. So if I have networking problems, they are not related to some sort of firewall/ configuration of any, besides ofcourse configuration of the networking it self?

I have installed Vmware ESX3.5iu3 on a Dell PE 2900. Configured it with 3 VM's SBS 2003R2 Windows 2008 Std. RCLI After configuring the SBS and Windows servers I have shutdown the server last night. This morning after booting I am not able to ping any machine from the SBS or W2k8 VM. after rebooting the VM's I am able to ping the network again. Looks like that problem is solved. But still I am wondering: On the Host ->Configuration -> Security Profile There should be firewall Configuration there, but Instead I see a short blink of firewall immediately replaced with Services. below that is says : Vmware Virtual Center Agent NTP Daemon The Agent is stopped The NTP is running. How do I access the Firewall settings again??
