Use the vSphere Client to navigate to the Permissions tab for the vCenter server.
Verify that a permission exists that assigns at least the Read Only role to the local Administrators group.
Use Putty to connect to vMA using SSH and log on using the vi-admin account. Enter this command:

vifp addserver vcenter-01.lab.local --authpolicy adauth

When prompted for credentials, for vcenter-01.lab.local, enter lab\administrator.
