New version of VCF 9, we now have VCF 9.1

I spent a couple of hours last night attending a great session with Paul Turner and others of VMware by Broadcom.

The session was talking about VCF 9.1

Far too many features to list.

So, here's a link to the What's New VCF site

Resetting the vcenter admninistrator account

It's been a while, but today we had to reset a vCenter Password for administrator@vsphere.local

So, I thought I'd write down the process

To reset the vCenter administrator@vsphere.local password, 

SSH into the vCenter appliance as root and run /usr/lib/vmware-vmdir/bin/vdcadmintool

Select option 3 to reset the password, enter the UPN administrator@vsphere.local, and use the generated password to log in. 

Finalize: 

Log in to the vSphere Client with the new password, go to 

(Burgermenu - top left) Administration > Single Sign-On > Users and Groups change the password to a permanent one.
