ESXi 6.7.0 Update 3 Build 14320388 cannot create new user.

I get an error every time I try to create a new user. At first I didn't think much of this, but now it's stopping me from joining a vCenter server as it wants to create or modify the vpxuser account.

 

When I go to create a new user I receive the error "Failed - A general system error occurred: passwd: Permission denied". The only account I have at the moment is "root", so that's what I'm doing this from.

 

This is a clean install using the Dell customised ISO (ie it has the Dell drivers I need built in). When I enable ssh and ssh in to the host using the root and run passwd I get "Permission denied".

 

I cannot try this from any other accounts as I cannot create any accounts to try this from.

 

As stated above, this is making it so I can't join the new host to a vCenter server.
