That sounds as if both nodes have the same ID in AD (SID, NetBIOS name). Where they cloned?

Regardless of the VMware stuff or what you running on any Windows box, as soon as two machines are member of an AD they must have a different identity. That means a different NetBIOS name and SID. What has happend is that one host changed the secure channel password between DC and member server and the other one didn't (can't) know about that and lost the connection thereby.

Having two vCenter server doesn't mean you have to clone the base OS. Only vCenter gets installed twise and the second installation becomes themirror of the first one.

Ever read this http://pubs.vmware.com/vsp40/install/c_install_vc_client.html ?

In the Heartbeat doco (http://www.vmware.com/pdf/heartbeat_55_reference_guide.pdf) it states +"The clone must be 100% with no

changes to the Name, SID, or domain membership."+

Ah, O.K., didn't know that....but it seems that both were online once. That might have caused this.
