There was too much corruption. As a result, I rebuilt my domain with new domain controllers, joined all my Windows virtual machines to the new domain, recreated my user accounts, etc. One of the challenges I ran into was getting my vCenter to leave the old domain so it could join the new domain. The old domain was no longer available, so I could not leave it.</p> <p>When trying to “Leave Active Directory Domain” in the GUI, I got the following error:</p> <div class="code-block" data-copy-label="Copy code, block 1"> <div class="code-block-header" data-pagefind-ignore></div> <pre tabindex="0"><code>ldm client exception: Error trying to leave AD, error code [1332], user [mmattox@ad.support.tools]</code></pre> </div>
