The domain admins group must be given administrator rights on the ESX(i) host to make this available for a ESX(i) login.

So when you've added the host to the domain, you still need to give the domain admins group administrator rights on your the ESX(i) host.

Hope that will solve your problem 😉

i did. there is a domain group called ESX Admins. and within that I added the users I am logging in as. Then under permissions in the viclient on the esxhost, I added that group as an administrator.

But still cannot log in as that user. I tried taking it out of domain and rejoining. same issue
