Prerequisites

1. Define domain controller server(s) and whether or not proxy servers will be used
2. Install AD Webservices on all the domain controllers that will be used
   • Please note that for newer AD hosts (2012 and above) have AD WebServices pre-installed
3. Ensure NTP is set up correctly
4. Set up RSAT (Remote Server Administration Tools) if using Remote Management of AD via a Windows “Jumpbox” using a connection method of either VMware Tools (recommended) or WinRM
5. Remove Properties from blueprint or Business Group for any existing Active Directory OU placement policies in vRA. (Will cause errors since AD object will already be created.)
6. Identify Build and Placement OU’s distingished names and delegate create/destroy/modify rights to a Service Account. *Note: The module cannot use AD Container Groups (CN=), it will cause an error. Must specify an OU path for build and Final OU’s. (OU=folder,DC=domain,DC=com)
