I have looked at countless blog entries and waded through best practices and installation docs. But I am still confused with interaction between vmware and ms AD domains.
I my test setups (running 5.1 as vms on 5.0) I have setup sso, inventory, sql, and vcenter on seperate 2008R2 servers and then joined (somehow) got these to join an test AD setup and was able to logon with AD users in vcenter environment. Now I am ready to start implementing this in the 'production' environment. I am adding to a Domain that I have NO administrative rights to. I have to rely on someone else to setup any AD authentication accoutns I need and then while relying on the main AD, my vcenter environemnt will have vms that are give permissions to users in the primary AD structure. Hope that make sense.
In my preperation, I am curious which of the vcenter servers (SSO, Inventory, vCenter, MSSQL) MUST be joined to the AD as member servers?
Thanks
