Good afternoon,
I am unable to assign permissions to my AD users. Scenario:
Select VM and go to Permission tab > Right Click and Add Permission > Add > Select the Domain > (after it lists the users in the domain) Search for a user > Select the username to be added > Add > Check Names > ERROR ("The following names were not found: - A general system error occurred: Authorize Exception").
I've looked through the KB and communities and found similar posts:
- http://communities.vmware.com/message/1576286 - the solution in that thread does not apply to me as I am already running the service using Local System.
- http://kb.vmware.com/selfservice/microsites/search.do?language=en_US&cmd=displayKC&externalId=1010094 - the solution is already the default value in the vCenter settings.
Additional info:
Account I am using to login to vCenter (through vSphere Client) has Domain Admins privileges.
vCenter version 4.1.0 build 258902
vCenter Server - OS: Windows 2008 R2 Enterprise
AD: Windows 2000 (mixed mode)
I'm curious as to why I can't "check names" or click OK to complete the assingment, but yet it is listing the users and groups in the domain just fine. I would imagine if it was my credentials that is having the issue, it wouldn't even list the users.
Also, I can assign permisions to any users that belong in the AD Domain Admins group.
Any input/answers is appreciated!
Thank you in advance!
Johan
