Host Active Directory Authentication Join Domain With CAM Task

Host Active Directory Authentication Join Domain With CAM Task

Adds the host to an Active Directory domain through CAM service.

If the HostAuthenticationStoreInfo.enabled property is True (accessed through the info property), the host has joined a domain. The vSphere API will throw the InvalidState fault if you try to add a host to a domain when the host has already joined a domain.

Required privileges: Host.Config.AuthenticationStore
