Hi,
I have just installed ESX 5.1 on a brand new server and then connected it to our domain. This went through without an issue and I can Add permissions based on AD accounts. I then installed the vcentre appliance as a standalone VM and all installed well and connected to the host. However, i want to be able to assign users permissions based on their AD accounts so I went to join it to our domain through the web interface and it reported a failure "cannot join domain" so I SSH'd into the console and ran ./domainjoin-cli domain username password which completed successfully. I also checked using ./domainjoin-cli query which confirmed it had joined the domain successfully. I also checked the machine account had been created and hey presto there it was.
However, now when I log in to the vcentre server using vsphere client I am unable to add an AD users and the domain simply does not appear in the list.
Any ideas where or why this might be happening?
