ESX4.1 error shown on console "cannot set all groups in vmkernel"

Hi,

On all my 20+ ESX, i'm getting those error on ESX Console and/or messages log.

While rebooting an ESX, I saw that the errors started right after "Restoring Resource Groups"...

Does anyone has any pointer for us?

We finally figured out that we have too many AD Groups in our domain.

As soon as we add the ESX to our AD those error message appears on the console. I guess the AD integration is still not perfect.
