Summary

This article helps troubleshoot retrieving data from your vCenter.

Synopsis

You are having trouble retrieving data from your vCenter for Spider.


Discussion

  • Check if the required Ad Domain Services are installed
    Get-WindowsFeature -Name AD-Domain-Services

  • Enter the Credentials you want to connect to (if you are trying to connect to a different domain than the computer you are running it is joined to)
    $cred = Get-Credential
    This will open the following dialog

  • Get AD Users from the specified domain (again if you are trying to connect to a different domain than the computer you are running it is joined to)
    $users = Get-ADUser -Server '<FQDN>' -Credential $cred -Filter '(ObjectClass -eq "user")'

    If you are connecting to the own domain the -Server and -Credential flag have to be omitted:
    $users = Get-ADUser -Filter '(ObjectClass -eq "user")'
  • To show the content of the $users variable just run
    $users
Whenever you get a PowerShell error, examine and solve it
