I'm trying to get vMA 4.1 to talk to my ESXi 4.1 host all using Active Directory. I've joined my ESXi host to AD, I've joined my vMA to AD, but after I set my vMA target and try to run a command against that host it asks for username and password and nothing I put in is accepted. I've added my AD account to the administrator role on the particular ESXi host.

I've been scouring the net for something and none of the blogs mention this happening. I do see domain admin mentioned in a couple places, but I don't have that permission and won't in my environment. I wouldn't think that matters as long as I manually add my account to the ESXi host.

Am I missing something obvious?

Thanks!

Hi,

Can you please follow the below format. " Explore the below link http://geeksilver.wordpress.com/2010/07/22/how-to-use-vma-4-1-installation-configuration/

Notice: There is a big trick here. If system prompt and ask you username and password, you can type “domain\username”. But if you want to use domain\username in the command line, you have to use “domain
username”.

Cheers!
