Hi,
i installed a fresh VCenter 5.1 and want to transfer all Hosts from the old 5.0 Installation.
Detaching the hosts and attaching it to the new Instance is only half of the work to be done.
The Folder structure is missing and what is even more important : All permissions to specific VMs / Folders / Clusters are not transfered.
All Users are AD Users, Old and new VCenter are in the same Domain. so there is no change on this side.
Why i am doing this ?
Old Server, upgraded from a 4 to a 4.1 to a 5 ...same with SQL Server.
i want a fresh installation...i think its better....
but i dont want to handle all this users and permissions separetly.
There is a script on flings but this handles only the Datacenters and Folders...
So does anyone has ideas ? scripts ? hints ? how this can be done easy .
Thank you very much
Hermann
