Can't create Parent VM in vCenter???

[Phatpuckz]

All my servers show up on my datacenter in vCenter vSphere Client. I ran vSphere as a domain admin and logged in as the same. When I try and create a vm through the wizard it gives me an error:

"You do not hold privilege 'Resource > Assign virtual machine to resource pool' on the selected host"

And when I try and right click and create a VM i can, but when I power up and install windows os it says it can't find the harddrive.

Any ideas?? thanks.

You have to either add the domain admin to the local admins group of the vCenter machine (which of course means the machine MUST be a member of the domain) or you have to add the user in a role, which is already a member of the Administrators (or appropriate) role in vCenter.

I did verify it was correct. I ended up removing the datacenter and re-installing it (exact same) and so far its letting me build my Parent VM.

Ok, I did create a vm....but then it crashed on me. I ended up having to reinstall vcenter. NOW, the original problem exists again. I recreated the datacenter to no luck this time. I check my permissions and believe they are correct.

Is the any reason why its telling me it can't find the harddrive when I'm installing the os?? thanks.
