I'm running vCenter 2.5 and ESX 3.5. <br />
<br />
New domain (Windows 2008)<br />
Current domain (Windows 2003)<br />
<br />
A trust was setup between the two domains and everything seems to be working. I haven't migrated any servers over to the new domain but I have migrated a few users. One of the users I migrated needs to be able to use the VI Client and access VM's. In the client, I highlight the server and then go to the permission's tab. I then choose Add A User. From the drop down menu I choose the new domain but when I do that it does not list an users in that domain. This is where I'm stuck.<br />
<br />
Thanks

VMware...Adding user permissions through the client

VMware, a software company founded in 1998,  was one of the first commercially successful companies to offer x86 virtualization. The storage company EMC purchased VMware in 1994. Dell Technologies acquired EMC in 2016. VMware’s parent company is now Dell Technologies.

VMware has many software products that run on desktops, Microsoft Windows, Linux, and macOS, which allows the virtualizing of the x86 architecture.  Its enterprise software hypervisor for servers, VMware vSphere Hypervisor (ESXi), is a bare-metal hypervisor that runs directly on the server hardware and does not require an additional underlying operating system.
