Hi,

I've just installed VMM 2012 R2 CU5 into a PoC lab. I've vCenter with a host cluster containing two hosts.

The vCenter added with no issues. The hosts added with no issues.

I never chose SSL, as its only PoC.

The two hosts are in OK (Limited) mode.

I've followed all instructions to retrive and add the certificates to get out of Limited mode.

This is where I'm having issues; the certificates DO add to Trusted People on the VMM Server, show us as issued to localhost.localdomain, issued by VMWare Installer. However, I get an error in VMM 2012 R2, saying 2Virtual Machine Manager cannot complete the VirtualCenter action on xxx because of the following error: Cannot complete login due to an incorrect user name or password (InvalidLogin). This error occurs when an operation is denied access because of insufficient privileges on a managed object. Resolve the issue and then try the operation again.

The host stays in Limited mode.

The accounts are OK, the RunAs account is an Administrator on the vCenter.

This is the same issue with both hosts.

Anyone any ideas?

Hi Peter,
