Issues adding permissions for domain accounts

[kkramer38]

After a fresh installation of ESXi 5.5 on 3 hosts, I have joined it to my domain. Now when i go to add a permission for domain users, the drop down inly gives me:

(server)

blank

vsphere.local

Even when installed vCenter Server, it found the domain and the DC but even through the Web Client it will not query the DC for groups and users.

Any ideas why it will not communicate with the domain? It is joined to the domain. I verified via Configuration Tab > Authentication Services.

I have verified the time/date is correct. I can ping from my DC to each one of my ESXi Servers via name and IP.

Hey,

Do you have your domain listed in the SSO as well.  Also is there any firewalls blocking the ports possibly between your hosts and AD, or your hosts and vCenter?

Hello please verify sso configuration below;

If your domain doesn't exist, please add new identity source ( Active directory Integrated windows authentication )
