SUMMARY

After the VM setup by using vmware_guest module, it cannot use domain user (domainAdmin@domin) in Ansible Tower to control. It return error: msg": "kerberos: the specified credentials were rejected by the server, ssl: the specified credentials were rejected by the server".
After checking the log in the new VM, it turns out that the VM cannot convert the domainAdmin@domin to domain\domainAdmin for authentication. Using local admin in Ansible Tower works well.
