[@thec0unting]

Does the vcenter root account still accessible after joining AD? if yes, how?

[@Chjpzukon]

Please help me fix error : [400] An error occurred while sending an authentication request to the vCenter Single Sign-On server - An error occurred when processing metadata during vCenter Single Sign-On setup: the service provider validation failed. Verify that the server URL is correct and is in FQDN format, or that the hostname is a trusted service provider alias.
I cant add domain to my vCenter
