VMware is virtual machine software that provides a virtualized set of hardware (a video adapter, a network adapter, and hard disk adapters) to the guest operating system. VMware virtual machines become highly portable between computers, because every host looks nearly identical to the guest. In practice, a system administrator can pause operations on a virtual machine guest, move or copy that guest to another physical computer, and there resume execution exactly at the point of suspension. VMware's enterprise software hypervisors for servers, VMware ESX and VMware ESXi are bare-metal embedded Hypervisors that run directly on server hardware without requiring an additional underlying operating system.

Andy's VMware vSphere tip#5: Best Practice and Security Hardening ? HOW... easy as 1...2...3...
How about using some Automated VMware expertise, like having a VMware Consultant on hand, every minute of the day to ensure your VMware vSphere environment, is following best practices and security hardening guidelines to protect your environment, also has the ability to monitor VMware vSphere Hypervisor logs in real time for VMware KBs. We've been using and following this small startup for a few years now. Let me introduce you to Runecast Analyzer.

Download a 14 Day Trial and take it for a spin.
We would not recommend it, if we didn't use it!
So there is no no excuse to quickly scan your environment for FREE, and see what you need to change!

Andy's VMware vSphere tip#4: Partitions :- OS Partitions have no place in VMware vSphere or Hyper-V. So do not create a C: Partition or volume, and D: Partition or volume on the same virtual disk. We used partitions in the dark old ages of DOS, when the limits of a partition were 32MB, so we had to create multiple partitions on our disks, to use all the disk space.
Keep a single partition per virtual disk. e.g. create a single virtual disk for C:, if you need a D; create another virtual disk.
You will thank me in the future, because it becomes much easier to expand C: and D:, if they are on separate virtual disks. You've also got the benefit of being able to specify which datastore, these will be hosted on which is important if you have tiered storage for performance.
So in Summary do not create partitions, C: D: E: F: on the same virtual disk, you will regret it, later and then you will have to use VMware Converter, to convert your machine and remedy the situation.

Vmware Roles
I have Vmware Roles displayed in the screenshot above.
I have an Active Directory Group name (Vmware-Administrators) which has Vmware Administrator Role.
My Question is if I put that group(Vmware-Administrator
Initially, I thought since I have only one Datacenter then it does not make difference, but I realized I was wrong. the AD group (Vmware-Administrators) was not able to take a snapshot of the Vcenter when it was put under the Datacenter icon (MydataCenter), when I moved it under "Datacenters" folder, the group was able to take snapshot of the Vcenter without issue.
Any Clarification about what made difference ?
Thank you
