Hi,
I have been unsuccessful in joining our vCenter appliance to our AD domain. I've made sure that the user I'm attempting this with has the proper rights. The first time that I attempt to join the appliance to the domain, I get a session error and am required to log into the web client again. Upon logging in, the appliance still shows that it is not joined. If I try again, I don't get any message, and the domain appears in the domain box on the Manage tab for the node. If I reboot the appliance, it is as if it was never joined. Looking at the SSO log, I see the following:
[2015-06-30T20:05:15.994Z pool-12-thread-3 opId=f0dcbd51-f9d7-47c1-9267-0f9374cea2dd INFO com.vmware.identity.admin.vlsi.SystemManagementServiceImpl] Vmodl method 'SystemManagementService.joinActiveDirectory' return value is 'null'
Does anyone here have any idea what the issue might be?
