Hi Guys,
I am running vcenter version 5.1 and my esxi servers are also 5.1.
Now, obviously the vcenter server is joined to the domain.
As we are upgrading the entire infrastructure, the old DC must be decommissioned and hence it is currently shut-down. All FSMO roles etc. have been transferred to the new DC and also the new DC is acting as DNS/DHCP server for the entire network.
We have got 50 PCs running in the network along with exchange server etc. and so far no signs of any glitches anywhere else
Now the issue I am having is that as soon as I shutdown the old DC, I can no longer access the VCENTER server using domain credentials. When I turn it on I can login fine.
The error I receive when I can't login -
1. A general system error occured: Authorize Exception or
2. Access to VCENTER server was denied.
3. Taking too long to respond.
I followed the steps here http://kb.vmware.com/selfservice/microsites/search.do?language=en_US&cmd=displayKC&externalId=1015639 i.e. unjoined vcenter server from domain and rejoined to domain whilst having old DC shutdown as well as turned on but absolutely no luck.
I can still log into VCENTER server using local admin login and password but teh issue is that my VEEAM backup is failing as well. It says "Task failed Error: Cannot complete login due to an incorrect user name or password." which is the whole reason I discovered this issue was related to VCENTER login via Vsphere client.
Kindly help
