Error: Some virtual machines from VMM, SMA, and SQL Server are not
running
The following error can occur when you try to run the MCPasswordReset script when required component VMs are not running.
ERROR
Some virtual machines from VMM, SMA, and SQL Server are not running. No passwords have been reset. For information about how
to resolve this issue, see the Troubleshooting the MCPasswordReset script section of the Dell Hybrid Cloud System for Microsoft
Administrators Guide. Virtual machines that are not running: < list of VMs not running >.
This can be caused by one of the following issues:
• The VMs shown in the error message are turned o. Verify that the VMs are turned on, and then try running the script again.
• One or more of the following account passwords is not in synch with AD DS:
• VMM service account
• SQL Server service account
• <Prex>-System account password in SMA
• <Prex>-Fabric Run As account password in VMM.
Out-of-synch passwords must be manually xed for the MCPasswordReset script to run successfully.
To x this issue, follow the procedures in Error: Some virtual machines and/or services related to VMM, SMA, and/or SQL Server are not
running, and then also complete the following procedure to synchronize the <Prex>-Fabric account.
To synchronize the < Prex >-Fabric account password in both AD DS and VMM
If the <Prex>-Fabric Run As account password in VMM is not in synch with AD DS, the MCPasswordReset script cannot run because it
might not be able to get the state of required component VMs.
To x this, do the following:
1 In Active Directory Users and Computers, expand the Dell Hybrid Cloud System for Microsoft OU, and then click the < Prex >-
Fabric account.
2 Right-click the account, and then click Reset Password.
3 Change the password.
4 Clear the check box for the User must change password at next logon option, and then click OK.
5 Close Active Directory Users and Computers.
