To customize the static IP of Windows guest virtual machines in the VMware environment, Resiliency Platform requires the administrator user name and password to log on to the Windows virtual machines. The user credentials can be Windows Active Directory user or Workgroup user.
For Windows Active Directory user, the Active Directory should be common for both, the primary and the recovery data center.
If a Windows virtual machine is part of a Windows Active Directory, ensure that you log on to the virtual machine at-least once using the Active Directory credentials.
