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
