Called support and after an hour we got nowhere. So, I kept trying different https://communities.vmware.com/thread/285638?start=0&tstart=0 settings and finally found my way in. In my case I was using my own account and I was by-passing kerberos authentication, so make sure the account you are using is a Domain admin (has permission to join/create computers in the domain) and is not by-passing pre-authentication.The other issue was related to the domain name and username. For domain use the FQDN (mydomain.lcl). For user youraccount , don't use mydomain\youraccount format. Even though I've read that you can enter it like this, it did NOT work for me. This 3 things fixed my issue. Now, all my hosts are on the domain. Hope this helps... Like Show 0 Likes (0) Actions 2. Re: Error in Active Directory Operations vmkarthik Sep 22, 2010 8:13 AM (in response to dvdmorera) Thanks very much.The problem was solved by just changing the way I autheticated. I was using DC\xyz which I just changed to Usr: xyz and it went fine. Also need to be sure that the ID has Domain Admin rights.Good to Go !!!
