Default Re: Vcenter from another domain to ours

So you have a vCenter Server in your domain, they have a vCenter Server in their domain, right? If your domain and their domain have a trust relationship established, you could use Linked Mode as others have advised.

As an example, it would mean that you log the vSphere Client into your vCenter Server as usual, but you would be able to see their vCenter inventory objects in the same Client - once your account has been granted permissions in their vCenter Server inventory - Linked Mode is a single sign-on, single Client view of multiple vCenter Server instances.
