Thank you for pointing me in the right direction. &nbsp;There is a outside consultant that is doing a manual health check( hence the MHC ext) on the Veeam virtual machines. &nbsp;Not sure why they are creating orphan machines but he told me it was not a problem and could be deleted. &nbsp;Thank you for the quick reply!

I started to see orphaned vm's show up indie vCenter for no reason. &nbsp;The new vm's would show up with a _MHC(orphaned) extension. &nbsp;I have no idea what is causing this but so far it is only on one host server in the vcenter. &nbsp;Does anyone have an idea what is happening?

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.
