This video was created in response to Experts Exchange members asking the question “have I compromised my ESXi host be adding to AD?”
In this video presentation which is part of the Hancock’s VMware Half Hour I will show you HOW TO: Check if you have compromised your VMware ESXi 8.0 Hosts if you have added them to Microsoft Active Directory.
In this video demonstration the ESXi servers are ESXi 8.0.3, which have the “fix” detailed below
Secure Default Settings for ESXi Active Directory integration
To demonstrate the differences between a compromised and non-compromised server, I have deliberately changed the default settings on esxi002.cyrus-consultants.
HOW NOT TO: Compromise your VMware vSphere Hypervisor ESXi 5.1, 5.5, 6.0, 6.5, 6.7, 7.0, 8.0 by adding to Microsoft Active Directory
On the 29th July 2024, Microsoft discovered a vulnerability in ESXi hypervisors being exploited by several ransomware operators to obtain full administrative permissions on domain-joined ESXi hypervisors.

VMware vExperts – Christian Mohn wrote about it here – VMware vSphere CVE-2024-37085 – A Nothing Burger
and Bob Plankers goes into more detail here – Thoughts on CVE-2024-37085 & VMSA-2024-0013
Please have a read of these publications.
Broadcom have issued updates and fixes to vSphere 7.0 and 8.0, and VCF 4.x and 5.x only. There is no security update for 6.7.
VMware vCenter Server 8.0.3a Build 24091160 was released on the 17th July 2024.
In this video presentation which is part of the Hancock’s VMware Half Hour I will show you HOW TO: Update VMware vSphere vCenter Server 8.0.3 to 8.0.3a using the Reduced Downtime Upgrade (RDU) function.
This procedure can be used to update any VMware vCenter Server 8.0 update in the future. VMware have released a new feature in later versions of VMware vSphere vCenter 8.0 called the Reduced Downtime Upgrade (RDU), which reduces downtime from over 60, minutes to 10 minutes. We would traditionally use the VAMI method here
but RDU only takes 15 minutes, but it does require the original vCenter Server 8.0.3 iso media!
At the time of this recording, VMware vCenter Server 8.0 Update 3a was the latest version available from VMware.
VMware vCenter Server 8.0 Update 3a Release Notes
Videos mentioned in this video, this method can be used to backup the vCenter Server database.

In this video presentation which is part of the [url=”https://github.com/CodheadClub/AwesomeResources/blob/master/Virtualisation.md#andrewhancock”]Hancock’s VMware Half Hour[/url] I will show you HOW TO: Migrate physical, virtual and cloud based workloads with real-time replication to VMware vSphere (ESXi) or Microsoft Hyper-V using OpenText Migrate.
Ten years ago I wrote the following article about the product Double-Take MOVE by Vision Solutions. It’s been acquired in the last ten years, by Carbonite, and now is in the hand of OpenText, and is name going forward will be [url=”https://www.opentext.com/en-gb/products/migrate”]OpenText Migrate.[/url]

In these uncertain times, when you may be required to migrate workloads between platforms, such as VMware vSphere, Microsoft Hyper-V etc I can highly recommend [url=”https://www.opentext.com/en-gb/products/migrate”]OpenText Migrate.[/url] as one of the best products on the market for your Migration Project.
In this video I will demonstrate the migration of an Linux Ubuntu 22.04 LTS Server from Microsoft Hyper-V to VMware vSphere, and concurrently migrate a Microsoft Windows 2022 Server from VMware vSphere to Microsoft Hyper-V, with very little downtime.
