obscure View/AD problem

[ScopeDial2]

My testing network consists of the following

On HyperV (2008R2) I have the following

2008R2 - Active Directory

2008R2 - View 5 Connection Server

2008R2 - Vcenter 5 and View Composer 5

On a seperate phyisical server I am running ESXi 4.1 for XP desktops

There is only one user provisioned on the domain and it has full administrative privileges.

This configuration works well for everything except when I attempt to create a pool of linked clones

And I reach the guest customization page,
I cannot see the name of the domain that  I wish to put the pool into.

Any assistance is appreciated!

That's very strange. Can you select "Browse" and populate a list of the OUs in your test domain? Just to verify: Both your Connection Manager and vCenter server are members of AD and not Domain Controllers?  I'm guessing you wouldn't get passed the first few steps of selecting the vCenter server, ect without them being members but just want to clear that up.

All servers are members of the network except the HyperV host.

I can add OUs (users) from the Vcenter/Composer platform.

Did you explicitly configure the domain credentials you want to use in the composer server setup?

Thanks!
