Configure VMware ESXi 4.1 for Active Directory Integration

Category: Technology - David Bombard @ 16:15

With version 4.1 VMware has finally introduced the ability to manage security is not based on the host and password and the local users to create and synchronize manually from one host to another, but based on Active Directory.

This synchrony is possible in several ways: vSphere client, vCLI, scripting or Host Profiles.

Let's see how to do through the vSphere Client.

1 Open the vSphere Client to the Configuration page

Select Properties

Select User Directory Services "Active Directory"


Select "Join Domain"


Select "Join Domain"

at the end you get a screen like this

Your server is now included in Active Directory in the "Permission" you can add not only users but also from your local Active Directory

Going forward ... customers will be Able to deploy vSphere ESXi only using. Although the infrastructure management tasks performed by the Service Console ounces are now handled by tasks running under the VMkernel, some ESX users may still depend on the custom scripts, third-party products, procedures or operational That use the Service Console.

This Means That upgrade to vSphere 4.1 is the perfect time to start planning on migrating to the ESXi architecture and Eventually break all dependencies on the Service Console ounce and for all. Here is a quick summary of What You Should Look into:

  • Replace COS-based scripts using the VMware Management Assistant, the vCLI, or vSphere PowerCLI
