"Active Directory container" in the attachment

[admin]

The documentation states:

http://pubs.vmware.com/vCAC-60/index.jsp?topic=%2Fcom.vmware.vcac.iaas.all.doc%2FGUID-CDB547F8-0529-...

(Optional)  Type a default Active directory container for machines provisioned in this group and press Enter. The Active Directory container is used only for WIM provisioning. Other provisioning methods require additional configuration to join provisioned machines to an AD container.

So no, you don't have to set this as it's optional.
