Guest User Mappings\u00a0is a new feature in vSphere 6.<\/p>\n

Enabling SSO accounts to login to guest OS provides users with additional capabilities to perform administrative tasks on guest virtual machines, such as, installing or upgrading the VMware Tools or configuring apps.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

In order to configure the mapping, you will need to know the Guest administrative account. This new feature allows your vSphere Administrators to access the Virtual Machines and do certain tasks.<\/p>\n
