Issue/Introduction

Symptoms:
  • Cannot connect VMware vIDM connector to an Active Directory domain.
  • The following error is generated:

    Error: Lsass Error [code 0x0000000b]
    The OU format is invalid.


Environment

VMware vRealize Automation 7.2.x
VMware vRealize Automation 7.4.x
VMware vRealize Automation 7.5.x
VMware vRealize Automation 7.1.x
VMware vRealize Automation 7.0.x
VMware vRealize Automation 7.3.x
VMware vRealize Automation 7.x

Cause

This issue occurs when the NetBIOS name for the Active Directory computer object for the embedded vIDM connector contains lowercase characters.
 
Note: By default, while creating an Active Directory domain using DCPROMO on Windows 2003 and later, you can only create a NetBIOS domain name using uppercase characters.

Resolution

At this time there is no resolution.

Workaround:
Setting NetBIOS name to all uppercase characters
