Hi,

Follow the instructions in the attached PDF to create a test PowerChute account on the windows Server, vCenter Server Application, and each host to test communications. I suggest naming the user pcnsadmin with a password of pcnstester. When adding vCenter to PCNS client enter the IP address of the server.
