Re: Unable to change virtual machine port group It seems this is also a permission issue. Access to the port group is not enough. You need 'read' to datacenter root or something else. Maybe because of this method that I suspect crawls to the pgGroup from bottom-up. closing this issue getVsphere().getDistributedVirtualPortGroupByName(getVM(), expandedDistributedPortGroup);

user must have suficient permissons to change port groups. This might include permissions to the datacenter root. Permission to the port group is not enough

I have the same issue and i think it is not solved because the user has administrator privileges. i have tried with pipeline and graphically. same result. this is the code in pipeline step([$class: 'VSphereBuildStepContainer', buildStep: [$class: 'Reconfigure', reconfigureSteps: [[$class: 'ReconfigureNetworkAdapters', deviceAction: 'ADD', deviceLabel: '', distributedSwitch: false, macAddress: env.MAC, portGroup: 'vlan2223', standardSwitch: true]], vm: 'env.VMCLONED'], serverName: 'myserver']) does the virtual machine name accept variables? and the error

While the exception handling could be improved (y'all free to submit a PR for that...) this was user-error.
