Problem:
How do I add my vCenter server to my Active Directory domain from the command line?
Solution:
To add the VCSA to an Active Directory domain login to vCenter and start a shell session:
shell.set --enabled true
shell
Then run the below command to join the chosen domain:
/opt/likewise/bin/domainjoin-cli join domain.com Domain_Administrator Password
You can then reboot the VCSA.
To check that the domain join is successful run the command:
/opt/likewise/bin/domainjoin-cli query
You can also query which domain controllers are available:
/opt/likewise/bin/lw-get-dc-list <domain_name>
If there is an issue you can leave the domain and try again:
/opt/likewise/bin/domainjoin-cli leave domain.com
