I have several ESXi hosts and I'm trying to get them to join AD so I can roll out administrative permissions through AD groups. I have joined the servers to the domain and that part worked as expected.
Now, when I go into Permissions to add a group, as soon as I choose my domain in the dropdown, I get the following error:
"A general system error occurred: Error accessing directory: Can't bind to LDAP server for domain <domain name>. Call "UserDirectory.RetrieveUserGroups" for object "ha-user-directory" on ESXi "<hostname>" failed."
This is occurring on 5 of my 7 ESXi hosts, and there's nothing that I'm aware of that's different on the other two.
Could this be a problem with requiring LDAPS on my domain? If so, why would it work on the other two servers? Just weird.
Any tips would be appreciated. Thanks!
