Symptoms

Cannot add the ESX/ESXi host to an Active Directory domain

Adding the ESX/ESXi host to an Active Directory domain fails

You see the error:

Errors in Active Directory operations

If netlogond is enabled on the host, you see entries similar to these in the netlogond.log:

20100820075107:0xf7c74b90:DEBUG:[LWNetSrvGetCurrentDomain() /build/mts/release/bora-234910/likewise/esxi-esxi/src/linux/netlogon/server/api/lwnet-pstore.c:83] Error at /build/mts/release/bora-234910/likewise/esxi-esxi/src/linux/netlogon/server/api/lwnet-pstore.c:83 [code: 136]

Note: For more information on enabling netlogond, see Enabling logging for Likewise agents on ESXi/ESX (1026554).

Resolution

This issue may occur when the network firewall is blocking the required ports.

To resolve this issue, ensure that the following ports (both UDP and TCP) are open for communication between the ESX/ESXi host and Active Directory:

Port 88 - Kerberos authentication

Port 123 – NTP

Port 135 - RPC

Port 137 - NetBIOS Name Service

Port 139 - NetBIOS Session Service (SMB)

Port 389 - LDAP

Port 445 - Microsoft-DS Active Directory, Windows shares (SMB over TCP)

Port 464 - Kerberos - change/password changes

Port 3268- Global Catalog search

Note: This issue may also occur if you have entered the user credentials in the <domain\username> format. This issue is resolved in ESXi 5.0 and later.

In some cases, the issue can be resolved first by a restart of the lwsmd service with the following commands:

/etc/init.d/lwsmd start

/etc/init.d/lwsmd start

To workaround this issue on earlier ESX/ESXi versions, enter the user credentials in the <username> or <username@fqdn_of_the_domain> format.
