Microsoft AD authentication

Integrating Microsoft AD authentication in the ESX Service Console used to be somewhat of a daunting task. Today, the steps have been greatly condensed & I find it a cinch:

1. Create a local user account on the ESX host for each AD user account you would like to authenticate
2. Use esxcfg-auth to configure the ESX host to be AD integrated

Or, implement vSphere 4.1's new AD integration feature via the vSphere Client
