VCSA domain join failed

Hi all,

just installed VCSA from a box and want to join it to domain, but operation fails with the following error:

The "Join active directory" operation failed for the entity with the following error message.

Idm client exception: Error trying to join AD, error code [31], user [username@domain.local], domain [domain.local], orgUnit [Servers]

Domain is running on 2 DCs of MS Win Server 2008 R2. There is some article on the similar issue but domain runs on 2012 R2.

Could someone help me to find more logs and troubleshoot the isse?

Many thanks in advance.

Wrong subnet mask was a root cause of the issue. After netmask correction everything works fine.
