Trying to join a few hundred hosts to the domain. Please advise whyt he below commandline is not working.
NOTES:
-$VCenterAdmin is an AD account that has permissions in both VCenter and AD, the credetial is specified as Domain\AdminName
I'm thinking that there are services i need to turn on for the host in order for it to join to the domain, but the services are identical to a test environment that worked fine yesterday. Please advise the restrictions around this commands success and what this particular error means if possible.
Thanks!
