Symptoms

When performing guest customization via the vCenter Server, the Windows Guest Operating Systems (Guest OS) fail to join Active Directory. The affected Guest OS-s are as follows, but not limited to:

Windows Server 2008

Windows Server 2008 R2

Windows Server 2003

Windows Server 2003 R2

Windows 7

Windows 8/8.1

When deploying a virtual machine from a Windows template and using a guest customization, it fails to join to the Active Directory (AD) domain

Resolution

Guest customization of a Windows Server 2008/Windows 7 operating systems and later uses the sysprep functionality built into the Windows operating system. Using a NETBIOS name when joining a Windows Server 2008/Windows 7 to an AD domain is no longer supported.

If the NETBIOS name of the AD domain is specified in guest customization, the virtual machine does not join the AD domain.

To resolve this issue, use the fully qualified domain name (FQDN) of the AD domain in guest customization and switch the domain login from down-level style log-on (domain\user) to user principal name ([email-masked]).

Use the following in the vCenter Guest Customization Wizard:

In Windows 2003/XP operating systems

Username: MYDOMAIN\myusername
Domain: MYDOMAIN

For Windows Server 2008/Windows 7 and later operating systems use:

Username: [email-masked]
Domain: mydomain.local
