Issue with logging into new installation of Vctr 6
I installed vcenter 6 and during the install I added in our domain name \admin acct and password
But I cant seem to login into the vsphere client. It keeps telling me that the login and password are not correct.
Did I do something wrong during the install or is there something with version 6 that I have to do that I did not have to do in version 5 of vctr?

Okay, so later you will need to login with Web Client using - Administrator@vsphere.loca
Then you need to allocate permissions to vCenter Server to AD objects, e.g. group or users.
Then you will be able to login with an AD account, and manage using either Web Client or vSphere Client.

Andrew I got the AD account in and I can login into the web client but now when I try to login to one of the direct without going through vctr, it keeps telling me I don't have permissions. Cant I login as root or administrator direct to host?

I forgot to mention that I have the host in the datacenter and cluster
You can still login directly to a host using vSphere Client using the root account this is not affected by vCenter Server.
If you have vCenter Server - WHY would you login direct to the host ? (unless for troubleshooting)
also to add the host to vCenter Server, you have to know the root password...

Yeah I found the issue. I had the lock down enabled for some stupid reason. Once I went go into the web, I found it and made the change..
Man I actually might start liking the web interface... :)

Unfortunately, you need to use both today (web and vSphere client!)

Had to login via the web client and our admin account..
