To manage domain controllers, you must license them in VCM.
The number of discovered domain controllers might exceed the number of your available licenses. If that
happens, a message appears indicating that not enough licenses are available.
Prerequisites
Verify that the domain controllers you are licensing are listed with a machine type of workstation or
server in Available Windows Machines in the following procedure. If the type is not workstation or
server, VCM cannot license the machines. Contact VMware Technical Support to resolve a machine type
that is not recognized by VCM.
