It says my credentials are incorrect when my jobs run even though I can use them to log into VMware vCenter. How can I troubleshoot this?

Best answer by Damian Andre

Can you try using a local vsphere admin account rather than the domain account? Something like "vsphere.local\administrator"

That is strange. Is the account an administrator? Local or domain?
