Joining a server to domain using VRA

[Roger15]

Hi Team,

What are the different types of ways where we can automate a server deployment to automatically join a domain in VRA in a particular OU in VRA ?

I saw few custom properties but upon trying unable to join the server.

Please guide me if anyone had completed it already.

Thanks.

As a free alternative, for creating and deleting MS DNS entries, you can use the workflow ADD DNS RECORD BLUEPRINT FOR VREALIZE AUTOMATION on the solution exchange.

https://marketplace.vmware.com/vsx/solutions/add-dns-record-blueprint-for-vrealize-automation-1-0#su...​

We are using this successfully after a few tweaks.

If you are doing large batches of deployments, you will need to add a lock / wait to the workflow, or DNS creation and deletion results may vary.

We use property groups to add the machines to specific OU's
